Solution

The correct option is C only $C_{6} H_{5} C H O$
The oxidation of the mixture of four aromatic compounds by strong oxidizing agents will give benzaldehyde. Further oxidation can form benzoic acid. To prevent further oxidation, suitable reagents should be used that forms an intermediate which is difficult to oxidize further.
