Solution
The correct option is B An aldol
Aldol reaction occurs in aldehydes having α-hydrogen with a dilute base to give β-hydroxy aldehydes or called aldols. This reaction is most commonly known as aldol reaction. If the condensation reaction occurs between two different carbonyl compounds it is called crossed aldol condensation.
The self condensation of acetaldehyde in the presence of dilute alkalies is called aldol condensation.
