The compound 
is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Degree of unsaturation 
According to question,
So the answer will be
From the formula, it is clear that it is an unsaturated compound.
On vigorous oxidation, it gives 1,2-benzene dicarboxylic acid, so it is an aromatic compound having substituents at the o-position. It undergoes Cannizzaro's reaction and Tollen's reactions, so it is an aromatic aldehyde.
Option and can't be our compound because the substituents are not at opposition. Option can't give Tollen's test. From all the above observations, it can be concluded that the compound is given by option .
