Solution

The correct option is E 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene
$C H_{3} - C H_{3} | C = C H_{3} | C - C H_{3} o z o n o l y s i s - ----- \to 2 C H_{3} C O C H_{3}$
$C_{6} H_{12}$ should be symmentric to get only acetone as the product of ozonolysis.
Hence, It should be $2, 3 - d i m e t h y l b u t - 2 - e n e$
