The correct option is A BaSO4
Acyl chloride/acid chloride undergoes hydrogenation in the presence of a reagent such as Pd−BaSO4 to form aldehydes. Aldehyde formation with this process is possible after the partial poisoning of the reaction by the addition of compounds such as BaSO4 or quinoline. This is an important step for the formation of aldehydes. This is also known as Rosenmund reaction.
Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
