Solution

The correct option is D
Oxidation of Alkyl Benzenes: When treated under strong oxidising conditions, benzylic-H systems are oxidised all the way to the carboxylic acid. The alkyl substituent can be methyl-, 1o or 2o alkyl.
3o alkyl are not oxidised because they lack a benzylic-H (Must have at ​least 1 benzylic hydrogen​.)
Option (d) doesnot have benzylic hydrogen thus it will not undergo oxidation. Hence option (d) is correct.
