The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}, \mathrm{CCl}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}$
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \underset{-2 \mathrm{HCl}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}$
Acetaldehyde
$\stackrel{3 \mathrm{Cl}_{2}}{-3 \mathrm{HCl}} \mathrm{CCl}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}$
