    Option B 180-210 ppm

    Explanation:

    C-13 NMR tells about the carbon skeleton and it is similar to proton NMR. Reference compound in C-13 NMR is tetramethylsilane (TMS) in which chemical shift of carbon is considered to be 0.0 ppm.

    Chemical shift of carbon having different hybridization is different.

    For example, chemical shift of sp3 hybridized carbon is in the region of 0 to 90 ppm.

    Chemical shift of sp2 hybridized carbon is in the region of 110 to 220 ppm.

    In aliphatic ketone, the carbolyl carbon atom is sp2 hybridized. So, C-13 chemical chemical shift range for carboly carbon is 110-220 ppm

    Therefore, among the given option, option B is correct.
