      {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|} \\ 
      {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Cl} 
    \end{array}$ $\rightarrow$ $2-$Chloro pentanoic acid
  • $\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
      {C{H_3}C \equiv CCHCOOH} \\ 
      {\,\,\,|} \\ 
      {\,\,\,\,\,\,C{H_3}}

      {C{H_3}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} 
    \end{array}$ $\rightarrow$ $4-$Methyl pentanal

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {C{H_3}C \equiv CCHCOOH} \\ 
  {\,\,\,|} \\ 
  {\,\,\,\,\,\,C{H_3}} 
\end{array}$  $\rightarrow$  $2-$ Methyl hex$-3-$enoic acid
b
