Dear Student,

Baeyer Villiger oxidation is shown by all ketones
 However, here you must see that which compound doesnot give Tollen's test
 In (1), alkyne group is also present and terminal alkynes reactswith terminal alkynes to give white precipitate
 Therefore, (1) cannot be the answer
 Only (4) doesnot react with Tollen's reagent and show Baeyer Villiger oxidation
 Hence, correct answer is (4)
