Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) is a mild oxidation method that converts primary alcohols into aldehydes. It does not proceed all the way to the carboxylic acid stage, making options A and B incorrect. Oxidation of a 1° alcohol with PCC does not produce an ether, making option D incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is C) an aldehyde.
