A tertiary alcohol H upon acid catalysed dehydration gives a product I. Ozonolysis of I leads to compounds J and K. Compound J upon reaction with KOH gives benzyl alcohol and a compound L, where K on reaction with KOH gives only M.
\[\mathbf{M}=\] 
(2008)
The structures of compounds J, K and L respectively, are
  1. PhCOCH3, PhCH2COCH3 and PhCH2COOK+
  2. PhCHO, PhCH2CHO and PhCH2COOK+
  3. PhCOCH3, PhCH2CHO and CH3COOK+
  4. PhCHO, PhCOCH3 and PhCOOK+

Answer

(D) PhCHO, PhCOCH 3 and PhCOO – K +
