Model Answer

The correct option is B – CHO.

The functional group for aldehyde is –CHO.

Source: Carbon and its Compounds, Table 4.3

Explanation

From Table 4.3, the functional group for aldehyde contains a carbon atom double-bonded to oxygen and single-bonded to hydrogen, written as –CHO. Examiners expect the exact formula; –COOH is carboxylic acid and –OH is alcohol — do not confuse them.
