Answer: A
The ketone shown is 4-methylpentan-2-one. LDA at −78∘C removes a proton from the less substituted and less hindered CH3 (kinetic enolate), and the oxygen of this enolate is trapped by the oxophilic silicon of MeX3SiCl to give the terminal silyl enol ether. Silylation of the CH2 side would give the more substituted (thermodynamic) silyl enol ether, and Si-C bonded products are not formed from enolates with MeX3SiCl.
