Question

Compounds $P$ and $R$ upon ozonolysis produce $Q$ and $S,$ respectively. The molecular formula of $Q$ and $S$ is $C_8{H}_{8}O$. $Q$ undergoes Cannizzaro reaction but not haloform reaction, whereas $S$ undergoes haloform reaction but not Cannizzaro reaction

$\left(i\right)P\underset{ii)Zn/H_{2}O}{\overset{i)O_3/C{H}_{2}C{l}_2}{\to }}\underset{\left(C_8{H}_{8}O\right)}{Q}$

$\left(ii\right)R\underset{ii)Zn/H_{2}O}{\overset{i)O_3/C{H}_{2}C{l}_2}{\to }}\underset{\left(C_8{H}_{8}O\right)}{S}$

The option(s) with suitable combination of $P$ and $R$, respectively, is(are

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.
