Solution
The correct option is A 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.
