Solution
The correct option is D DIBAL-H - diisobutylaluminium hydride selectively reduces nitriles and esters to aldehydes.
The reaction is usually carried out at −78oC to prevent reaction with the aldehyde product.
Also the tetrahedral intermediate formed by DIBAL with ester is stable only at −78oC.
