The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Carbon–carbon bond formation occurs in reactions where the carbon chain is extended. Check each reaction:
• Cannizzaro reaction → No C–C bond formation
• Friedel-Crafts reaction → Alkylation/acylation \(\Rightarrow\) C–C bond formation
• Clemmensen reduction → Reduction only (no C–C bond)
• Reimer-Tiemann reaction → Formylation introduces \(-CHO\) group \(\Rightarrow\) C–C bond formation Final Answer: \({(D)\ \text{II and IV}}\)
