Solution

The correct option is B $O H$

The functional group present in the final product is an alcoholic $- O H$ group.

A $M g$ atom inserts in $C - B r$ bond to form a Grignard reagent (aryl magnesium bromide).

This is compound E. It attacks acetaldehyde, followed by acid hydrolysis to form a secondary alcohol (compound F).

Hence, option A is correct.
