(a)
Interpretation:
To draw resonance structure for the conjugate base of given set of compounds when it is treated with sodium ethoxide.
Concept introduction:
A conjugate base is formed when an base abstract the acidic proton from a compound to form an ion. The charge on the ion can undergo delocalization within the molecule to form resonance stabilized conjugate base. The more the charge is delocalized, the more the conjugate base is stable which inturn indicates that the compound is more acidic.
To draw : The resonance structure of conjugate base formed
