Question
A hydrocarbon X on treatement with O3 followed by the reduction of ozonide with Zn−H2O gives Y. Y gives both Tollen's test as well as yellow precipitate with NaOH/I2 solution. Which is a possible structure of X?

Solution
The correct option is C
Ozonolysis of alkenes involves the addition of ozone molecule to an alkene to form ozonide. Cleavage of ozonide by Zn−H2O to smaller oxidised molecules.
The iodoform reaction been used as a chemical test for the presence of a methyl ketone−COCH3 moiety.
The above product has both −CHO and −COCH3 groups required for Tollen's test and iodoform test respectively. Hence option (c) is correct.
