An organic compound answers Molisch's test as well as Benedict's test.But it does not answer Scliwanoffs test.Most probably, it is

ASucrose
Correct Answer
BProtein
CFructose
DMaltose

Solution

$$\text{Molisch}$$ test is for identifying $$\text{carbohydrates.}$$ $$\text{Benedict's test}$$ is for $$\text{aldehydes (not aromatic),}$$ and $$\text{scliwanoff's test}$$ is to $$\text{distinguish ketose from aldose.}$$ aldose doesn't show any positive test. so the organic compound may be an $$\text{aldose(carbohydrate with aldehyde group)}$$

$$\text{Hence, correct answer is Option (D).}$$
