The correct answer is Option (3)
The reaction can be written as:
Oxidative cleavage using potassium permanganate \((KMnO_4)\) in the presence of sulfuric acid \((H_2SO_4)\) and heat is a powerful method for breaking carbon-carbon double or triple bonds in organic molecules, leading to the formation of carboxylic acids, ketones, or carbon dioxide, depending on the structure of the substrate. When an alkene is treated with hot, acidic potassium permanganate, the double bond is cleaved, and the two carbon atoms of the double bond are oxidized. If the carbon is attached to hydrogen, a carboxylic acid is formed. If the carbon is attached to another carbon, a ketone or another carboxylic acid can result.
