The compounds which give positive Fehling’s test are: [2025]

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(2)
Fehling’s test is given by those aldehydes which have –hydrogen atom. Benzaldehyde (A) has no –hydrogen atom, hence does not give Fehling’s test. Acetophenone (B) is a ketone and ketones do not give Fehling’s test. (D) and (E) are aldehydes with –hydrogen atom and C tautomerises to an aldehyde.

Thus C, D and E give positive Fehling’s test.
