Answer:
Correct Answer: 32. (a)
Solution:

(a) is not steam volatile, but is steam volatile thus, incorrect.
(b) has enolic group thus, gives violet colour with aqueous solution thus, correct.
(c) has carbonyl group hence, gives yellow precipitate with 2, 4-DNP thus, correct.
(d) does not give colour with thus, incorrect.
