Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction starts with a primary alcohol and undergoes PCC oxidation which stops at the aldehyde stage. The aldehyde is then reacted with Tollens' reagent, which is a mild oxidizing agent that converts aldehydes to carboxylic acids while itself being reduced to metallic silver. Therefore, the product will be a carboxylic acid, which is only present in option C. Options A and B show iodination products, while option D and E show dehydration products, which are not observed under these reaction conditions.
