    D)  \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     When acetaldehyde is heated with Fehling solution, a red precipitate of \[C{{u}_{2}}O\]is obtained. \[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{3}}CHO+2Cu{{(OH)}_{2}}+NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[C{{H}_{3}}COONa+\underset{(red)}{\mathop{C{{u}_{2}}O}}\,\downarrow +3{{H}_{2}}O\]
