Which of the following compounds does not undergo the Cannizzaro reaction?

The tests performed on compound $X$ and their inferences are:

Test	Inference
$(a)$ $2, 4-DNP$ test	Coloured precipitate
$(b)$ Iodoform test	Yellow precipitate
$(c)$ Azo-dye test	No dye formation

Compound $X$ is:

The correct order of rate of reaction toward nucleophilic addition reaction for the following compounds is:
$(a)$ $p-NO_2-C_6H_4-CHO$
$(b)$ $C_6H_5-CHO$
$(c)$ $p-OMe-C_6H_4-CHO$
$(d)$ $CH_3-CO-CH_2CH_3$
$(e)$ $C_6H_5-CO-C_6H_5$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$:
Assertion $A$: Acetal/Ketal is stable in basic medium.
Reason $R$: The high leaving tendency of alkoxide ion gives the stability to acetal/ketal in basic medium.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
