(C) The Cannizzaro reaction is a redox reaction in which two molecules of an aldehyde (lacking an $\alpha$-hydrogen atom) react in the presence of a strong base to produce a primary alcohol and a carboxylic acid salt. Since the same aldehyde species is simultaneously oxidized and reduced,it is classified as a disproportionation reaction.
