Aldehydes that lack alpha hydrogens, such as benzaldehyde or pivalaldehyde (2,2-dimethylpropanal) cannot form an enolate and thus do not give a positive Fehling's test result under usual conditions
hence option D is correct

Aldehydes without alpha hydrogen does not react with fehling soln. Hence acetaldehyde in the given list is correct

Aromatic aldehyde ie, C6H5CHO are not able to reduce Fehling's solution but it gives Cannizaro's reaction with alkali.
