Answer:
ethanol gives a positive iodoform test. Methanol and propanol do not give a positive iodoform test as they do not have a methyl group attached to the carbon which contains the OH group. 2-Propanol gives iodoform test because it contains a methyl group bonded to the carbon containing the OH group.
