Options

  1. ABenzene
  2. BBenzoic acid
  3. CBenzaldehyde
  4. Dp-Benzoquinone

Correct answer

D. p-Benzoquinone

Step-by-step solution

Phenol undergoes oxidation with CrO₃ as the oxidizing agent. The hydroxyl group oxidizes to a carbonyl while introducing another carbonyl at the para position, forming a conjugated dione system. C₆ H₅ OH CrO₃ p -benzoquinone Final answer: D. p-benzoquinone
