Solution

The correct options are
C $C H_{3} - C H (O H) - C H_{2} - O H$
D $C H_{3} - C H (O H) - C H - C H_{3}$
The oxidation of secondary alcohols gives ketones. Thus, the oxidation of the compounds of options $C$ and $D$ gives ketones.
However, if the hydroxyl group is present on the terminal carbon atom (primary alcohol) then the oxidation will result in an aldehyde. Thus the compounds of options $A$ and $B$ on oxidation will give aldehyde.
