Solution

The correct option is C $C u^{+ 2}$
Benedict's solution is used to test for aldehyde group. The aldehyde group oxidised and in the process, reduces the $C u^{2 +}$ found in the complex provide by Benedict solution to form copper (I) oxide, $C u_{2} O .$
$R C H O + C u (c i t r a t e)_{2}^{2 -} + 5 O H^{-} \to R C O O^{-} + C u_{2} O ↓ + 3 H_{2} O Aldehyde Fehling's solution Carboxylate ion Brick Red ppt$
Thus the correct option is (c).
