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:

\[ P = 6(-C=O)(-COPh) \]
