Correct answer
D. C
Step-by-step solution
Reaction A is the Cannizzaro reaction, which involves the self-oxidation and reduction of an aldehyde lacking -hydrogens in the presence of a concentrated base. This is correctly matched. Reaction B is the Etard reaction, which uses chromyl chloride ( CrO ₂ Cl ₂ ) to oxidize toluene to benzaldehyde. This is correctly matched. Reaction C is the Gattermann-Koch reaction, which involves the formylation of benzene using CO and HCl in the presence of anhydrous AlCl ₃ to produce benzaldehyde. The name given in the table
