Q. Alcohols cannot be prepared from
A) $C_{2}H_{5}Br + aq.KOH \rightarrow$
B) $\left( CH_{3} \right)_{2}C = O\ \ \overset{\ LiAlH_{4\ }\ }{\rightarrow}$
C) $O$
$||$
$CH_{3} - C - OCH_{3}\ \overset{\ Na/EtOH\ \ }{\rightarrow}$
D) $CH_{3}CH_{2}Cl\ \overset{{\ \ H}_{2}O\ \ }{\rightarrow}$
Explanation
(d)
Alkyl halides are hydrolysed to corresponding alcohols by moist silver oxide $(AgOH)$ or by boiling with aqueous alkali solution
$RX + AgOH\ \overset{Heat\ }{\rightarrow}ROH + AgX$
