Correct answer: (a) a racemate

Explanation:

Since during the reaction, a chiral carbon is created and further since the CN- ion can attack the planar aldehyde group both from the top and the bottom face of the aldehyde group with equal ease, therefore, a 50 : 50 mixture of the two enantiomers, i.e. a racemic mixture is obtained.
