Solution

The correct option is D A,B, and D

Carbonyl compounds having no αhydrogen will undergo Cannizzaro reaction.

Out of the above-given options, A, B and D none of them have alpha hydrogen. So, all can undergo Cannizzaro reaction.

Option C compound is known as chloral because in presence of base chloral gives chloroform, which is not Cannizzaro product.
