Which of the following compounds is the least reactive towards nucleophilic addition reactions?

An alkene $(A)$ $C_{16}H_{16}$ on ozonolysis gives only one product $(B)$ $C_8H_8O$. $(B)$ can also be obtained by the hydrolysis of the product obtained from the reaction between cyanobenzene and $CH_3MgBr$. $(A)$ shows geometrical isomerism and decolourises $Br_2$ water. $(B)$ on treatment with $SeO_2$ produces $(C)$. Which statement is not correct about $(C)$?

Consider the following sequence of reactions:
Ketone $A$ $\xrightarrow[2. H_2O]{1. C_2H_5MgBr} B$ $\xrightarrow[- H_2O]{H_2SO_4, \text{Heat}} C$ $\xrightarrow[2. Zn, H_2O]{1. O_3} \text{Propanone} + \text{Acetaldehyde}$
The ketone $A$ is:

Which of the following does $NOT$ give a yellow precipitate when reacted with a $(NaOH + I_{2})$ mixture?

Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced to corresponding hydrocarbons by
