Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, D
Solution:

Starting compound reacts with ethylene glycol + dry HCl → acetal (Q) formation (carbonyl protection).

Q with (Ph)₃P gives phosphonium salt (R), which on treatment with base (C₆H₅Li) forms ylide (S).

Ylide undergoes Wittig reaction with cyclohexanone → alkene product (T).

T on hydrolysis (H⁺) regenerates carbonyl compound (U).

U gives yellow ppt with I₂/NaOH (haloform test) → confirms presence of –COCH₃ group.

Hence, correct options matching all steps are: A, B, D
