Solution
The correct option is BEt−O||C−Et O
Acetophenone (ph−CH2−||C−CH3) do not give bisulphite test because of steric hindrance.
The nucleophilic addition to carbonyl group results in change of hybridisation in which substituents get closer. So, if there are bulky substituents nucleophilic addition is not favourable.
