Answer»

Carbon is bounded by 3 METHYL groups
Absence of `alpha`-hydrogen atom
Due to steric effect
None of these

Solution :Aldehydes that have no `alpha`-hydrogen atom give Cannizzaro reaction, in which two molecule of aldehyde in presence of `50%` AQUEOUS `NaOH`, GIVES one MOLECULAR of alcohol and one molecular of sodium salt of acid.
