Thank you! I thought it had 2[O] as is the case with oxidising aliphatic alcohols but my teacher had just put the one so I thought that they had made a mistake!
I've run out of rep for today but I'll rep you tomorrow!

The first equivalent of oxidising agent turns it into benzaldehyde, which then forms the hydrate in the presence of water, which is then oxidised to the acid.
