Correct option: C.
Cannizzaro reaction
c
Tishchenko reaction is a modification of canizzaro's reaction.This reaction involves disproportionation of an aldehyde lacking a hydrogen atom in the alpha position in the presence of an alkoxide. The reaction product is an ester. catalysts are aluminium alkoxide or sodium alkoxide.
