Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
$ CH_3CH_2-\underset{H}{\overset{O}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}}}\bullet +H\underset{CH_3}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{\alpha }{\mathop{CH}}}}}-CHO\xrightarrow{O{H^{-}}} $
$ CH_3-CH_2-\overset{OH}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{CH}}}}-\underset{CH_3}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{CHCHO}}}} $
