C Correct answer
Explanation

This option is correct because Jone's reagent is the solution of chromium trioxide in diluted sulphuric acid. This reagent is prepared from soduim dichromate and potassium dichromate,  which is especially used for the oxidation of secondary alcohol to ketones and primary alcohol, and then into carboxlyic acid and in few cases into aldehydes.
