Solution
The correct options are ACH3−CH(OH)−CH3 BCH3COCH3 DCH3CH2OH
Haloform reaction is shown by primary alcohol C2H5OH which on partial oxidation gives CH3−CHO.
Secondary alcohols with methyl group (CH3−CHOH−CH3) on oxidation which give methyl ketonic groups show positive result for haloform test. Methyl ketonic compounds show positive result.
Thus, (i), (ii), (iii) give positive result for iodoform test.
