Identify major product ‘P’ formed in the following reaction. 
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The reaction is an example of Friedel-Crafts acylation. The acylium ion (\(\text{RCO}^+\)) generated by the reaction of acyl chloride with \(\text{AlCl}_3\) acts as an electrophile and attacks benzene to form the acylated product.
\[ 6(-C=O)-C=O \]
Thus, the major product is:
\[ P = 6(-C=O)(-COPh) \]
