Explanation

Lipids (fats) do not yield polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones on hydrolysis. Proteins are made of amino acids, not polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones. Carotene is a pigment, not a hydrolyzable complex. Carbohydrates are complex substances that break down into polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones when hydrolyzed.
