Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) C

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reaction A is the Cannizzaro reaction, which involves the self-oxidation and reduction of an aldehyde lacking \(\alpha\)-hydrogens in the presence of a concentrated base. This is correctly matched. Reaction B is the Etard reaction, which uses chromyl chloride (…
