Solution
The correct option is
A
propan-2-ol
The compounds which give positive are the one with alpha-methyl groups.
To be more precise, Ethanal(Acetaldehyde) and methyl ketones.
Ethanal is the only aldehyde which gives a positive
iodoform test
. Thus, ketone and aldehyde with structure

also show positive results.
propan-2-ol is
C
H

thus it will have
