The correct answer is: I & III only


Since ' $\mathrm{Z}$ ' is a methyl ketone, it gives positive iodoform test and gives a yellow precipitate with $\mathrm{I}_2$ and $\mathrm{NaOH}$. Aldehydes and ketones undergo walff-kishner reduction to give the corresponding hydrocarbon.
Thus, I and III are correct.,
