An organic compound 'A' having molecular formula C4H10O does not react with sodium metal. On hydrolysis by dilute H2SO4 it gives only one organic compound 'B'. The compound 'B' on heating with red phosphorous and iodine gives compound 'C'. The compound 'C' also obtained from compound 'A' on heating with excess of HI. Identify the compound A, B and C.
