Cyclohexene is treated with $O X_{3}$ and then with dimethyl sulfide. The product is

Acyclohexane-1,2-diol
Bhexanedial, $OHC - (CH X_{2}) X_{4} - CHO$
Chexanedioic acid
Dhexane-2,5-dione

Answer: B

Ozonolysis of a cyclic alkene opens the ring without losing carbon atoms. Both ring carbons of the double bond become CHO groups, and the reductive work-up (DMS) keeps them as aldehydes: hexanedial.
