Correct option: C.
Silver mirror
c
(c) $C{H_3}CHO + \mathop {2[Ag{{(N{H_3})}_2}]OH}\limits_{{\rm{Tollen's}}\,{\rm{reagent}}} \to $ $C{H_3}COON{H_4} + \mathop {2Ag + 3N{H_3}}\limits_{{\rm{Silver }}\,{\rm{mirror}}} + {H_2}O$
(c) $C{H_3}CHO + \mathop {2[Ag{{(N{H_3})}_2}]OH}\limits_{{\rm{Tollen's}}\,{\rm{reagent}}} \to $ $C{H_3}COON{H_4} + \mathop {2Ag + 3N{H_3}}\limits_{{\rm{Silver }}\,{\rm{mirror}}} + {H_2}O$
