Answer 1

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given compound has functional group "C=O" and this functional group is known as ketone.

For example, a compound with chemical formula
`CH_(3)COCH_(2)CH_(3)` 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.

Answer 2

In the given structure formula there is >C=O function group present thus the compound is a ketone
