Answer is (a)
Iodoform test is given by compounds having –COCH base 3 group.
In acetone –COCH base 3 group is present. Further ethanol and isopropyl alcohol get oxidized to acetaldehyde and acetone respectively (both having –COCH base 3 group) in presence of I base 2 and they in turn give the test. Thus only diethyl ketone does not give this test.
