Solution

The correct option is B $O_{5} - C_{6}$
On the treatment of the given compound with a strong acid, the most susceptible site for bond cleavage is $O 5 - C 6$ .
The lone pair of electrons on $O 2$ is involved in resonance with $C = C$ . Hence, $O 2$ will not be protonated.
The lone pair of electrons on $O 5$ is not involved in resonance with $C = C$ . Hence, $O 5$ will be protonated. Chloride ion will then attack least substituted C atom $(C 6)$
