Answer:

The simplest ketone is acetone (R = R' = methyl), with the formula CH3COCH3

CH₃COCH represent a ketone.

Hence, Option (A) is correct answer.

What is Ketone ?

A ketone is functional group which contains the carbonyl group that is -C = O. The structure for ketone is R¹ - C = O - R² where R¹ and R² are alkyl group or aryl group.

Now lets check all options one by one

Option (A): CH₃COCH

CH₃COCH contains the carbonyl group with alkyl/aryl group. So it represent a ketone.

So, it is correct option.

Option (B): C₂H₅COOCH₃

C₂H₅COOCH₃ contain a -COOR which is a functional group of ester. So it does not represent a ketone.

So, it is incorrect option.

Option (C): C₂H₅COOH

C₂H₅COOH contain carboxylic group. So it does not represent a ketone.

So, it is incorrect option.

Option (D): CH₃CHO

CH₃CHO contain aldehyde group. So it does not represent a ketone.

So, it is incorrect option.

Thus, from above conclusion we can say that CH₃COCH represent a ketone.

Hence, Option (A) is correct answer.
