Question
**Question:**

Which of these would give a positive iodoform test?

**Structures:**

- **A:** Molecular structure resembling an aldehyde or ketone with the formula CH₃C(=O)CH₂CH₃.
- **B:** Molecular structure resembling a ketone with the formula CH₃C(=O)CH(CH₃)₂.
- **C:** Cyclic ether structure attached to an alkyl chain with hydroxyl group.
- **D:** Propanol structure with formula CH₃CH₂CH₂OH.

**Options:**

- ○ B
- ○ A
- ○ A and D
- ○ none of them
- ○ D
- ○ C
- ○ A, C, and D

**Analysis:**

The iodoform test is used for the detection of methyl ketones or secondary alcohols with a methyl group on the carbon bearing the hydroxyl group. This test is positive for structures containing a CH₃C=O or CH₃CH(OH) group.
