Answer: A
The enamine of cyclohexanone is nucleophilic at the beta (ring) carbon, which attacks methyl iodide to give a C-methylated iminium salt. Aqueous acid hydrolyses the iminium ion to the ketone and piperidine, giving 2-methylcyclohexanone as the monoalkylated product. Hydrolysis without alkylation would give only cyclohexanone.
