Answer: C
E2 elimination follows Zaitsev's rule and gives the more substituted alkene, 2-methylbut-2-ene, (CHX3)X2C=CH−CHX3. Cleavage of the C=C bond gives (CHX3)X2C=O from one end and CHX3CHO from the other. The products are propanone and ethanal. (The Hofmann alkene 2-methylbut-1-ene would have given butan-2-one and methanal.)
