$C{H}_2=CHC{H}_{2}C\equiv CH\underset{Zn-H_{2}O}{\stackrel{O_3}{⟶}}$

• A. $OHCC{H}_{2}COOH$, $HCOOH$ and $HCHO$
• B. $HOOC-CH\left(OH\right)CH\left(OH\right)-COOH$ and $HCOOH$
• C. $HOOCC{H}_{2}COOH$, $HCOOH$ and $HCHO$
• D. $HOOCCOOH$, $HCOOH$ and $HCHO$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $OHCC{H}_{2}COOH$, $HCOOH$ and $HCHO$

This is the reaction of ozonolysis of alkene and alkyne. Ozone breaks the double of alkene and alkyne. It produce formaldehyde, acid and ketone produced as a product , no further reaction will happen.
