(a)
Interpretation:
How to carry out the given transformation is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Sodium hydride is a strong base but a poor nucleophile. So it will deprotonate the alpha carbon of the carbonyl compound. This will generate a strong nucleophile as well as a strong base, the enolate ion. This enolate ion attacks the electrophilic carbon in
