Solution

The correct option is A

1; 2; 3


Start with benzylbromide. Treat it with triphenylphosphine and get to the salt.
This salt, when treated with a super strong base like n-BuLi (n-butyl lithium),
loses a proton and becomes a phosphorus ylid.

This, when made to react with cyclohexanone, gives benzylidene cyclohexane:
