Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) W - R    X - S    Y - P    Z - Q

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reaction W: Toluene (\(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_3\)) reacts with chromic oxide (\(\text{CrO}_3\)) in acetic anhydride to form benzylidene diacetate, which on hydrolysis yields benzaldehyde (\(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CHO}\)). Thus, W matches with R. Reaction X: Esters…
