Answer:
Benzene carbaldehyde (benzaldehyde) is reacted with concentrated NaOH solution. It undergoes cannizzaro reaction where one molecule is oxidised to carboxylate ion and other molecule is reduced to alcohol. The products A and B respectively are sodium benzoate and phenyl methanol. The product A can be used as food preservative and the product B is an aromatic hydroxy compound where OH group is linked to sp
hybridised carbon atom next to benzene ring. Hence, the option (B) is the correct answer.
