Solution

The correct option is A propan-2-ol
$C H_{3} C H (O H) C H_{3} [O] \to C H_{3} C O C H_{3}$
Only Propan-2-ol can be oxideised to its corresponding carbonyl compound. The same reaction is not possible for 2-methylpropan-2-ol. Phenol and its derivatives are not possible either.
Hence, Option A is correct.
