Solution

The correct option is B condensation
Acetoacetic ester condensation is a self‐condensation of ester in the presence of alkali alkoxide in alcohol to form β‐keto esters. It is carried out under basic conditions to generate β‐keto‐esters. This reaction is found to be very useful for the synthesis of a series of β‐keto esters (both branched and unbranched)
Hence option (B) is correct.
