A & B undergo cannizzaro reaction
C & D will not due to absence of alpha hydrogen.......................

I think all the four can give the reaction cannizzaro reaction are given by aldehydes with out alpha hydrogen that is no hydrogen on the neighbouring carbon. none of the options have it. if you have to opt out an answer it should be 3 rd one. because haloform reaction can compete with cannizzaro reaction depending on the reaction condetions

All four of these will undergo cannizaro reaction as none of these contain alpha hydrogen atom. Alpha hydrogen atom is one which is attached to carbon atom next to one which bears aldehyde group.
