A hydrocarbon (A) having molecular formula `C_(7)H_(14)` is capable to exhibit both geometrical and optical isomerism on oxidation with hot conc. `MnO_(4)` followed by heating with sodalime yields two alkanes (B) and (C). Mixture of B and C can also be formed by oxidatio with hot concentration alkaline `MnO_(4)^(-)` of hydrocarbon (D) having molecular formula `C_(7)H_(12)`, followed by heating with sodalime.
Q. The hydrocarbon (A) is
A. 2-methyl-2-hexene
B. 3-methyl-2-hexene
C. 5-methyl-2-hexene
D. 4-methyl-2-hexene
