Answer:

C. propanal

Explanation:

Organic compounds have different functional groups. It is possible to convert from one functional group to another by using proper oxidizing and reducing agents.

Alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes . Here porpanal is the aldehyde and propanol is the alcohol.

Propanone is a ketone and propene is an alkene.
