The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Chemical Reaction Pathway 

The reactions occur as follows:

  1. L-Glucose reacts with HI at high temperature, leading to the formation of n-hexane (\( \text{CH}_3 - (\text{CH}_2)_4 - \text{CH}_3 \)).
  2. n-hexane undergoes aromatization in the presence of \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_3 \) at 775K, producing benzene.
  3. Benzene reacts with excess chlorine in the presence of UV light to form benzene hexachloride (\( \text{C}_6\text{H}_6\text{Cl}_6 \)).

Final Answer:

The major product \( Q \) is benzene hexachloride (BHC).

In the following reaction sequence, the major product Q is
