Solution

Related Theory Ozonolysis is a method of oxidatively cleaving alkenes or alkynes using ozone $\left(O_{\mathrm{g}}\right)$. The process allows for carbon-carbon double or triple bonds to be replaced by double bonds with oxygen. It is often used to identify the structure of unknown alkenes by breaking them down into smaller, more easily identifiable pieces.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
