You do a Grignard reaction followed by an oxidation.
Explanation:
➡️Step 1: benzaldehyde + phenylmagnesium bromide → diphenylmethanol
➡️Step 2: diphenylmethanol + chromyl chloride → benzophenone
You can use any reagent that converts a secondary alcohol to a ketone.
These include acidified potassium dichromate, pyridinium chlorochromate, and chromyl chloride.

Answer:
use KMnO4 to convert it into benzoic acid.
react benzoic acid with SOCl2 to get C6H5Cl.
react C6H5Cl with anhydrous AlCl3 to get benzophenone.
