Solution

The correct option is C TFF

Statement 1 is true beacuse acetophenone has αhydrogens which enable it to undergo aldol condensation.

Statement 2 is false. Acetaldehyde is more reactive than benzaldehyde toward nucleophilic addition. In benzaldehyde, the phenyl group being bulkier group produce steric hinderance for upcoming nucleophile and also the polarity of CO bond is reduce by electron donting nature of phenyl ring.

Statement 3 is also false because benzophenone does not have αhydrogen.
