Solution

The correct options are
A $C_{6} H_{5} N H O H$
B $H C O O H$
D $H C H O$
Nitrobenzene does not reduce Tollen's reagent. The oxidation of nitrobenzene with ammoniacal silver nitrate solution does not occur.

$H C H O + 2 [A g (N H_{3})_{2}]^{+} + H_{2} O \to H C O O H + 4 N H_{3} + 2 H^{+} + 2 A g ↓$

$P h N H O H + 2 [A g (N H_{3})_{2}]^{+} + 2 O H^{-} \to P h N O + 2 H_{2} O + 4 N H_{3} + 2 A g ↓$

$H C O O H + 2 [A g (N H_{3})_{2}]^{+} + 2 O H^{-} \to C O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O + 4 N H_{3} + 2 A g ↓$

Option D is correct.
