Solution

The correct option is C C₆H₅CHO
$C_{6} H_{5} C H O$ has an aldehyde group and therefore responds to schiff’s test. Due to the absence of $α - h y d r o g e n s$ it also gives a positive Cannizzaro’s test but does not reduce Fehling’s solution as the oxidizing agent is not powerful enough to oxidize benzaldehyde to benzoic acid.
