But-1-ene is treated with HBr (no peroxide) to give A. A is heated with alcoholic KOH to give B as the major product. B is treated with OX3 and then Zn/HX2O to give C. Considering only the major route, C is
Apropanal
Bbutanal
Cpropanone
Dethanal
Answer: D
Markovnikov addition gives A = 2-bromobutane. Saytzeff elimination gives B = but-2-ene. Reductive ozonolysis cleaves CHX3−CH=CH−CHX3 into two molecules of CHX3CHO, so C is ethanal.
