Solution
The correct option is B
Dialdehydes undergo aldol condensation on reacting with NaOH/KOH to for α,β− unsaturated ketone.
The α-hydrogens of two carbonyl are identical so it will form only one enolate ion and it leads to stable 5 membered cyclisation reaction.
Thus, mechanism of intramolecular aldol condensation of the given compound is
