What are ' \(\mathrm{X}\) ' and ' \(\mathrm{Y}\) ' respectively in the following reactions?
\[
\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CHO}+\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{COCH}_3 \xrightarrow[293 \mathrm{~K}]{\mathrm{OH}^{-}} \underset{\text { major }}{\mathrm{X}} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{NaBH}_4} \mathrm{Y}
\]

  1. A \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{COCH}=\mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right) \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5, \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COC}_6 \mathrm{H}_5\)
  2. B \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{COCH}=\mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right) \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5, \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5=\mathrm{CHCH}(\mathrm{OH}) \\ & \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5\end{aligned}\)
  3. C \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCOC}_6 \mathrm{H}_5, \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCH}(\mathrm{OH}) \\ & \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5\end{aligned}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CHCOC}_6 \mathrm{H}_5, \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{COC}_6 \mathrm{H}_5\)
