The correct option is: (c) HCHO
Explanation:
The carbonyl compounds having atleast One α-hydrogen atom undergo condensation reaction in presence of dilute NaOH solution. This reaction is called as aldol condensation reaction. As formaldehyde (HCHO) has no α-hydrogen atom attached to carbonyl group. it does not respond to this test.
