The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Analyze the Reaction

The reaction involves KMnO₄/H⁺, which is a typical oxidizing agent that cleaves alkenes and oxidizes the resulting fragments to carboxylic acids.

Step 2: Predict the Major Product

The oxidation of an alkene will cleave the double bond and convert both fragments into carboxylic acids. The correct product is:

$$ \text{COOH} \longrightarrow -C - C \longrightarrow \text{COOH} $$

Conclusion

The correct product is a pair of carboxylic acids formed by cleaving the alkene.
