If you have read the organic chemistry properly then you will come across aldehydes are the one which gives the tollens test and ketones are the one which does not give this test. For example if you take ammonical silver nitrate and try to oxidize aldehyde with the help of it then you will find that it is a mild oxidising agent as Ag+ is formed.

The correct answer could be - Ethanal.
Aldehydes are the organic compounds which give a positive test with the Tollen's reagent. Also, in the Triiodomethane, also known as the Iodoform test, the hydrogen group of the aldehydes react to give a positive result.
Ethanal (CH₃CHO) is the only aldehyde which will form a pale yellow coloured precipitate after it undergoing the triiodomethane (iodoform) reaction.
In the Tollen's test, the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, also known as 2, 4 - DNP or 2,4-DNPH is used as a reagent. This reagent helps in identifying the carbonyl group of the aldehydes.
The Tollen's reagent is a solution comprising of silver nitrate and ammonia. It is used for distinguishing the aldehydes from the ketones. The aldehydes will give a positive silver mirror test with the Tollen's reagent.
