Answer #1

The correct option is B, the product is acid.

Explanation:-

Primary and secondary alcohols are oxidized by K2Cr2O7 to carboxylic acids and ketones respectively.

In above example we have primary alcohol hence it gives acid product upon oxidation with K2Cr2O7 and H2SO4/water. First it oxidises to aldehyde and upon further oxidation it gives acid.

All other products shown as a ketone/aldehyde/saturated alkane are not possible products.

Aldehyde could be the product but oxidation can't be controlled at this stage.
