Solution

The correct options are
A Formic acid
B $C H_{3} C O C H O H C H_{3}$
C Tartaric acid
D Glucose
Tollen's reagent oxidize aldehyde, alpha-hydroxy ketone, formic acid and $α$ -hydroxy acid as they are easily oxidized. This test is not given by ketones.
Hence, $H C O O H, C H_{3} C O C H O H C H_{3}$ , tartaric acid and glucose gives silver mirror test.
