Consider the following reaction sequence of alkene \[C{{H}_{3}}CH=CHC{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{{O}_{3}}}A\xrightarrow[Zn]{{{H}_{2}}O}B\] The product B is

A) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COC{{H}_{3}}\]   

B) \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}\]

C) \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]                         

D) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

\[C{{H}_{3}}CH=CH-C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{{O}_{3}}}\] \[\therefore \]The product B is acetaldehyde.
