Solution

The correct options are
A $2 C H_{3} C H O D i l . N a O H - ----- \to C H_{3} C H O H C H_{2} C H O$
B $2 C H_{3} C O C H_{3} D i l . N a O H - ----- \to (C H_{3})_{2} C (H O) C H_{2} C O C H_{3}$
(a) and (b) have $α - H$ atoms, so they undergo aldol condensation; (c) is Cannizzaro reaction; (d) is Claisen-Schmidt reaction.
