Structure C
C
  1. (A)(B) and (C)
  2. (B)(C) and (D)
  3. (C)(A) and (D)✓ Correct
  4. (D)(A) and (C)

Answer: (C)

Solution

Benzaldehyde (C₆H₅CHO) can be prepared by several methods. Reaction (A) involves oxidation of toluene or benzyl alcohol derivatives under controlled conditions to give benzaldehyde. Reaction (D) is another method that yields benzaldehyde. Reactions (B) and (C) do not produce benzaldehyde as the major product under the given conditions. Therefore, reactions (A) and (D) are correct, making option (C) the answer.
