The correct answer is: Grignard reagent
Acetaldehyde and acetone both react with a Grignard reagent to give secondary and tertiary alcohols respectively.
While Fehling's reagent, Tollen's reagent and Schiff's reagent are reduced by only aldehydes (i.e., acetaldehyde). Hence, the correct option is (4).
