Dear pulipaka subbu,

This is a Cannizar Reaction beacause Con.NaOH is used & the products are Alcohols & Acid !

Therefore only Benzaldehyde will undergo this reaction since it does not contain an alpha-hydrogen atom(Cannizaro Reaction Condidtion) to give out Benzyl Alcohol & Benzoic Acid !

 

Hope this helped you clear your doubts !

All the Best & Good Luck !!
