Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2-methyl-2-butene

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To decide the structure of alkene that undergoes ozonolysis, bring the products together in such a way that \(\mathrm{O}\) atoms are face to face, and replace \(\mathrm{O}\) by double \((=)\) bond. Thus,
