The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Grignard reaction with aldehyde gives alcohol.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
HCHO + CH\(_3\)MgI \(\rightarrow\) CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)OMgI (A)
Hydrolysis: CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)OMgI + H\(_2\)O \(\rightarrow\) CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)OH (B) + Mg(OH)I
Step 3: Final Answer:
A = CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)OMgI, B = CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)OH.
