Answer:

B Organic acids

Explanation:

Depending on the conditions of the oxidation, aldehydes will form carboxylic acids. This will happen if the oxidation happens under acidic or alkaline conditions.

This will happen easily, and the aldehydes will form a carboxylic acid that has the same number of carbon atoms.

HCHO + [O]  → HCOOH

CH3CHO + [O]  → CH3COOH

The carboxylic acids are the most common organic acids.
