Which of the following (only one) will react to Fehling's solution?BenzaldehydeBenzophenoneBenzilDibenzyl ketone

  1. Benzoic acid
  2.  
  3.  
  4.  

Through reading online, I found that Fehling's solution is used to distinguish aldehyde vs. ketone functional groups- aldehydes are oxidized, but ketones do not (except alpha-hydroxy ketones). I then assumed it would be benzaldehyde, however, I also read that aldehydes lacking alpha hydrogens (such as benzaldehyde) does not yield a positive result when tested with Fehling's.
