Solution
The correct option is A
The alkynes react with ozone to form ozonides. These ozonides decompose, when reacted with water in the presence of Zn, to give diketones.
In the absence of Zn, ozonolysis followed by hydrolysis produces acid.
Here, the given compound react with O3 to form peroxy linkage derivative called ozonide. Due to the absence of Zn, the ozonide undergoes hydrolysis to form Ethanoic acid and 2-Methyl propanoic acid.
