D: A ketone has a “carbonyl” functional group (C double bonded to

O) while the carbon atom of the carbonyl group is also bonded to two other

carbon atoms (that is, is attached to two radicals). Choice C is incorrect as the

O is single bonded to the carbon(s). Choice A is incorrect as the NH group is

not a radical.
