Choose the most appropriate option :

Which of the following is an example of conjugated diketone?

The major product of the above reactions is :

A polysaccharide 'X' on boiling with dil H₂SO₄ at 393 K under 2-3 atm pressure yields 'Y'. 'Y' on treatment with bromine water gives gluconic acid. 'X' contains $$\beta$$-glycosidic linkages only. Compound 'X' is :
