Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions :
When an aldehyde with no a-hydrogen reacts with concentrated aqueous $NaOH$, half the aldehyde is converted to carboxylic acid salt and other half is converted to an alcohol. In other words, half of the reactant is oxidized
and other half is reduced. This reaction is known as Cannizzaro reaction

The following questions are multiple choice questions. Choose the most appropriate answer:
