Ketones where R = R1 = alkyl group. It can be obtained in one step by

A.Hydrolysis of esters

B.Oxidation of primary alcohol

C.Oxidation of secondary alcohol✓ Correct

D.Reaction of acid halide with alcohols

Explanation

Secondary alcohols are those compounds in which the alcohol group is present at the carbon atom which is further attached to 2 carbon atoms. So, when this secondary alcohol is oxidized, there is formation of ketone. The reaction is given below: 푅−퐶퐻(푂퐻) −푅1 [푂] → 푅−퐶푂−푅1
