Correct answer: 2

In the first step formaldehyde undergoes cross aldol reaction with isobutyraldehyde to form ( A) and then the product(A) forms cyanohydrin (B)with KCN, which on hydrolysis forms a compound containing carboxylic acid group and finally this molecule undergoes intramolecular esterification to form (C) a stable compound.
