(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product for the given reaction has to be shown and the major product has to be indicated.

Concept introduction:

Autoxidation involves reaction of a CH bond, (usually allylic one) with oxygen under radical initiation condition. The product is a hydroperoxide.

Mechanism involves a radical chain process in which resonance-delocalized allylic radical intermediates reacts with molecular oxygen to give peroxy radical that continues the radical chain.

Major product is more substituted double bond.
