Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The transformation involves converting a ketone into a ketal, which can be achieved using excess of an alcohol and an acid catalyst. Choice B provides the necessary alcohol (H2O) and acid catalyst (H2SO4) for the reaction to occur. Choices A, C, and D do not provide the necessary reagents for ketal formation, and choice E provides the acid catalyst but the wrong alcohol.
