Solution
The correct option is A When excess of HOX gets added to alkynes they form geminal diols. Theaddition of HOX is similar to addition of X2 to alkynes.
Geminal diols are unstable and therefore are easily converted to ⍺,⍺-dihalo ketones. by dehydration or loss of one water molecule.
Here two moles of HOBr gets added up to the alkyne to form geminal diol. Generally,OH is added to the C atom where more alkyl groups are present. On elimination of H2O, geminol diol forms ⍺,⍺-dibromo ketones
