Answer:

butanal

Step-by-step explanation:

It's not 1-propanone because otherwise you have OH bonded to C not O and H bonded to C separately. 2-butanol means that the O and H would be bonded to a different C atom, and it's not propyl hydrogen ether because the O would be in the chain of bonded Cs.
Hope this helps :)
