Detailed Solution

Aldehydes and ketones having at least one α-hydrogen undergo Aldol condensation.
So, Acetone, Propanal, Acetophenone, and Ethanal undergo Aldol condensation.
Aldehydes and ketones having at least one methyl group linked to the carbonyl carbon atom (methyl ketones) undergo Iodoform reaction.
Hence, Acetone, Acetophenone, and Ethanal undergo Iodoform reaction.
So, Acetone, Acetophenone, and Ethanal undergo both Aldol condensation and Iodoform reaction.
