Solution
The correct option is C A, B and C Grignard reagent is a strong nucleophile. It undergoes nucleophilic addition reaction when it reacts with aldehyde, ester and ketone.
Grignard reagent react with ketone to form 3∘ alcohol.
In the product, there are three different R groups are present, Hence three different carbonyl compounds and three different Grignard reagent can be used to obtain the product.
