In the given structure formula there is >C=O function group present thus the compound is a ketone
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The given compound has functional group "C=O" and this functional group is known as ketone.
For example, a compound with chemical formula [tex]CH_{3}COCH_{2}CH_{3}[/tex] is a ketone.
On the other hand, a compound with functional group R-O-R' is known as ether. Where R and R' groups can be same or different groups.
A compound with functional group R-CHO is known as aldehyde.
A compound with functional group R-OH is known as alcohol.
Hence, we can conclude that the given compound is a ketone.
