Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Functional Group in Ketones

Ketones are a class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of a specific functional group within their carbon chain. This functional group is known as the carbonyl group, which consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom (C=O).

Step 2: Review the Given Options

The options provided are: (A) carbonyl (B) hydroxyl (C) carboxyl (D) aromatic

Step 3: Match the Functional Group to the Correct Option

Among the given options, the carbonyl group (option A) is the correct functional group present in ketones.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{A}}\)
