Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
PCC oxidizes primary alcohols to aldehydes. Strong oxidizing agents such as 
are used
for getting carboxylic acid from alcohols. PCC is pyridinium chlochromate.
The oxidation process can be stopped at the aldehyde slage if 
reagents such as Collins reagent 
), Corey's reagent or pyridinium chlorochromate and pyridinium dichromate 
in anhydrous medium are used as the oxidising agent. So, the correct option is .
