The reactant is a methyl ketone, which can undergo aldol condensation to form an unsaturated aldehyde or unsaturated ketone. The key step in the mechanism of aldol condensation is the formation of an enolate ion. In this case, the enolate ion will attack the carbonyl carbon of a second molecule of the ketone, resulting in the formation of an unsaturated aldehyde. Therefore, the product is an F1F1F1S1F1F1F10, F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-unsaturated aldehyde (Choice C).
