Correct answer: A,C,D. PCC, Oppenauer oxidation, and are specific and mild oxidants that do not attack carbon-carbon double bonds, making them ideal for oxidizing unsaturated alcohols. However, in an aqueous medium acts as a strong oxidant and will oxidize a primary alcohol completely to a carboxylic acid.
