Correct Answer - A
When aldehydes condenses with ketone, gives four condensation products. It is the `alpha `- hydrogen atom of the ketone which is involved in the condensation reaction and produces major product.
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CHO + HCH_(2)COCH_(3) overset("dil . NaOH") tounderset(" 4- hydroxy 2- hexanone")( CH_(3)CH_(2)CH(OH) CH_(2)COCH_(3))`
