Solution

The correct option is B ozonolysis
Ozonolysis is the cleavage of an alkene or alkyne with ozone to form organic compounds in which the multiple carbon-carbon bonds have been replaced by a double bond to oxygen. The outcome of the reaction depends on the type of multiple bonds being oxidized.
Bromine water can be also used to identify the position of a double bond. In this reaction, red-brown colour of bromine gets turned into coulorless indicating that there is a double bond.
