Solution

The correct option is B PhCH=CHCH2OH,PhCH2CH2OH
Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) reduces cinnamaldehyde via 1,2 reduction in a hydroxylic solvent to cinnamyl alcohol.
Thus, PhCH=CHCHONaBH4PhCH=CHCH2OH

But LiAlH4, being stronger reducing agent compared to NaBH4. Cinnamaldehyde undergoes 1,2 reduction with LiAlH4 to give the following reaction.

Thus, PhCH=CHCHOLiAlH4PhCH2CH2CH2OH ass shown above.
