(A) The given reaction is an example of the Cannizzaro reaction,which occurs in aldehydes that do not have an $\alpha$-hydrogen atom in the presence of a concentrated base like $NaOH$. In this reaction,the aldehyde undergoes self-oxidation and reduction (disproportionation) to form a carboxylic acid salt and an alcohol. For $3$-bromobenzaldehyde,the aldehyde group $(-CHO)$ is at the meta-position relative to the bromine atom. The reaction proceeds as follows: $2 	ext{ } C_6H_4(Br)CHO + NaOH (conc.) ightarrow C_6H_4(Br)COO^- Na^+ + C_6H_4(Br)CH_2OH$. Thus,the products are $3$-bromobenzoate ion and $3$-bromobenzyl alcohol.

The reaction of $3$-bromobenzaldehyde with concentrated $NaOH$ $(50\, \%)$ yields which of the following products?
