What are the products formed when an aldehyde \((R \mathrm{CHO})\) is reacted with Tollen's reagent?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Ag}, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, R \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}, \mathrm{NH}_3\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Ag}, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, R \mathrm{COO}^{-}, \mathrm{H}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Ag}, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{RCOO^{- } , \mathrm { NH } _ { 3 }}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Ag}_2, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{RCOO}^{-}, \mathrm{NH}_3\)
