Benzyl Chloride is the only compound from the above mentioned compounds, which does not result in benzoic acid on acid/base hydrolysis.
Benzoyl chloride replaces its chlorine atom with a hydroxyl group and HCl is liberated.
Benzyl chloride will not undergo acid hydrolysis since the H+ ion is not able to approach it.
Phenyl cyanide replaces its nitrogen atom with three hydroxyl groups, two of which go out to form a carbonyl group.
Phenyl benzoate loses the attached benzoxy group which is replaced by a hydrogen atom.
