a

Ethanal and formaldehyde

b

Propanal and formaldehyde

c

Ethanal and propanal

d

Propanal only

✓ Correct answer: a)

Ethanal and formaldehyde

Explanation

Step 1: Hydrogenation (H₂/Pd-C)
Propyne (CH₃-C≡CH) undergoes partial hydrogenation to form propene (CH₃-CH=CH₂).

Step 2: Ozonolysis (O₃/Zn, H₂O)
Ozonolysis cleaves the C=C bond in propene, producing:
- Ethanal (CH₃CHO)
- Formaldehyde (HCHO)

Thus, the correct answer is: (A) Ethanal and Formaldehyde.
