Solution

The correct option is C Acetone
The complete reaction is as follows:

CO2+CH3MgClhydrolysis−−−−−CH3COOHCa(OH)2−−−−(CH3COO)2CaDry distillation−−−−−−−−CH3COCH3

A is CH3COOH formed by the addition of Grignard reagent to carbon dioxide.

B is (CH3COO)2Ca formed by acid-base neutralization.

C is acetone because calcium salt of carboxylic acids on distillation gives carbonyl compounds.
