Right answer is (d) Aldehydes

Easy explanation: The aldehyde is an organic compound which contains a functional group which has the structure of –CHO group. They are formed by oxidation of alcohol which is not available in the crust. As it is in liquid form it is chemically prepared and is not available in the crust.
