ONLY d will not give haloform test because acid does not have pure -COCH3 group due to resonance .in case of pyruvic acid CH3COCOOH there is seprate COCH3 GROUP SO it give haloform test.lactic acid on oxidation give pyruvic acid so it also give.while formula of acetophenone C6H5COCH3 have COCH3 so it give haloform test.
