Solution

The correct option is B $P C C$ (Pyridinium Chlorochromate)
The most suitable reagent for the conversion of $R - C H_{2} - O H \to R - C H O$ is $P C C$ (Pyridinium Chlorochromate).
Primary alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes. Aldehydes are further oxidized to carboxylic acids.
$P C C$ (Pyridinium Chlorochromate) is a mild oxidizing agent. it oxidizes primary alcohols to aldehydes only. The further oxidation to carboxylic acid does not occur.
$C r O_{3}$ , $K M n O_{4}$ and $K_{2} C r_{2} O_{7}$ are strong oxidizing agents. They oxidize primary alcohol to aldehdye and further to carboxylic acid.
