which one of the following undergoes reaction with 50

Which one of the following undergoes reaction with 50% sodium hyroxide solution to give the corresponding alcohol and acid?

A. Butanal

B. Benzaldehyde

C. Phenol

D. Benzoic acid

Answer : Benzaldehyde

Solution :
This reaction is known as cannizzaro’s reaction. In this reaction benzaldehyde in presence of 50%. $$NaOH$$ undergoes disproportionation reaction and form one mol of Benzyl alcohol (Red. product) and one mole of sod. benzoate (ox. product)
