The given reactant is cyclic anhydride and changes to dicarboxylic acid on hydrolysis. Also there is decarboxylation on heating if there is keto group w.r.t - COOH group. Ozonolysis cleaves (C = C) bond and $H_{2} O_{2}$ oxidises - CHO to - COOH group.

Thus, number of COOH groups in the product is = 2.
