(a)
Interpretation: The product of given electrocyclic reaction is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Electrocyclic reactions involve ring opening or ring closure in a conjugated polyene. According to Woodward-Hoffmann rules, the polyene containing even number of bonds in thermal conditions undergoes reaction in conrotatory fashion and polyene containing odd number of bonds undergo reaction in disrotatory fashion.
