Expert Solution
Step 1

a) Tollen's test is given by compounds which have aldehyde groups. Out here, the compound A has a aldehydic CHO group. 

b) Oxidation with CrO3 converts alcohol to aldehyde/ketone. C and D are alcohol. But C cannot be oxidised as it has no Hydrogen. So, only D can be oxidised.

c) C=O can be reduced with NaBH4, only aldehyde and ketone, not ester group. So, B cannot be reduced but A and E can be. 

d) Alcohols readily dissolve in water as they can form hydrogen bonding. So, C and D

e) On adding D2O, tautomerism can occur and the Hydrogen at the alpha position can be exchanged with deuterium. So, a 1HNMR peak will disappear. Option E is correct.
