Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) A and D Only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molecule \((X)\) is an ether with two enol ether functional groups attached to the central oxygen atom. On mild acidic hydrolysis, an enol ether cleaves to give a carbonyl compound and an alcohol. The \(1\)-propenyl side \((CH_3-CH=CH-O-)\) hydrolyses to propanal,…
