The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CHO}$
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CHO}$
Only those aldehydes which do not have $\alpha-\mathrm{H}$ atom undergo Cannizaro's reaction.
Hence $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CHO}$ will not undergo Cannizaro's reaction as it has $3 \alpha$ $\mathrm{H}$ atoms.
Hence $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CHO}$ will not undergo Cannizaro's reaction as it has $3 \alpha$ $\mathrm{H}$ atoms.
