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

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.
