This is an interesting question.
The Cannizzaro reaction is not given by Acetaldehyde. Aldehydes that contains alpha hydrogen atoms are not involved in Cannizzaro reaction and aldehyde like acetaldehyde contains alpha hydrogen in it. So, that's why it can't participate or involve in this reaction.
Hope this will help you.

Correct Answer is option: 2 Acetaldehyde
explanation:
Cannizaro reaction:
Aldehydes which do not have alpha hydrogen atoms, undergoes self oxidation and reduction reaction on treating with conc.Alkali .
In this reaction, one molecule of aldehyde is reduced to alcohol while another molecule of aldehyde is oxidized to carboxylic acid salt.
************************************
So, Acetaldehyde - CH3CHO IS a aldehyde which has alpha hydrogen atoms hence it does take part in Cannizzaro's reaction.
