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 ZnH2O to smaller oxidised molecules.The iodoform reaction been used as a chemical test for the presence of a methyl ketoneCOCH3 moiety.
The above product has both CHO and COCH3 groups required for Tollen's test and iodoform test respectively. Hence option (c) is correct.
