The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

In this reaction, ozonolysis of the cyclohexene ring occurs, cleaving the double bond and forming an intermediate that undergoes hydrolysis in basic conditions (with NaOH) to yield a carboxylate anion. The major product from this sequence is the diketone structure shown in option (A).
