Answer #1

Answer : Option C

Generally react with nucleophiles with a loss of an electronegative leaving.

Carbonyl carbon is electrophilic in nature. That means it is electron deficient. So only electron rich (nucleophiles) react with carbonyl carbons. Presence of more electronegative atoms makes it more electron deficient by withdrawing electron density towards it.

Option A is wrong. Because it reacts with nucleophiles.

Option B is wrong. Because carbonyl carbon is already electrophilic in nature. So an electrophile cannot react with carbonyl carbon.
