Solution

Figure
LiAlH $_{4}$ is a nucleophilic reducing agent, hence it will reduce $-\mathrm{COOH}$ to $\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH},-\mathrm{CO}$ to $-\mathrm{CHOH}$ and $-\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ to $\mathrm{NH}_{2}$ but does not reduce $\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{C}$ linkage.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
