Solution

This is a multi-step organic synthesis sequence involving Grignard reaction, ozonolysis, Clemmensen reduction, and dehydration. Compound A is a Grignard reagent formed from alkyl halide and Mg in dry ether. Ozonolysis of A with O₃/Zn and H₂O gives aldehyde B. Clemmensen reduction (Zn-Hg/H⁺) converts carbonyl to methylene group, giving alkane C. Finally, acid-catalyzed dehydration (H⁺/Δ) removes water to form an alkene.

The starting material appears to be a cyclic compound. After ozonolysis, reduction, and dehydration, the final product is cyclohexene:

cyclohexene

Final answer: The third option (cyclohexene structure)
