is a reducing as well as an oxidising agent. D
is a reducing as well as an oxidising agent.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
One CHO is oxidised to 
and one CHO is reduced to 
.
Thus, it is a disproportionation reaction. Thus, and
are true and 
is reducing as well as an oxidising agent.
Thus, is also true. Thus, is incorrect.
