The correct answer is: Schiff's base
In the given reaction aldehyde $\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CHO}\right)$ reacts with aniline $\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2\right)$, they form amine $\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5-\mathrm{N}=\mathrm{CHC}_6 \mathrm{H}_5\right)$ which is known as Schiff's base.
