Glyoxal $(OHC-CHO)$ on being heated with concentrated $NaOH$ forms:

The option$(s)$ with the correct sequence of reagents for the conversion of $P$ to $Q$ is(are):
$(A)$ $i$) Lindlar's catalyst,$H_2$; $ii$) $SnCl_2 / HCl$; $iii$) $NaBH_4$; $iv$) $H_3O^{+}$
$(B)$ $i$) Lindlar's catalyst,$H_2$; $ii$) $H_3O^{+}$; $iii$) $SnCl_2 / HCl$; $iv$) $NaBH_4$
$(C)$ $i$) $NaBH_4$; $ii$) $SnCl_2 / HCl$; $iii$) $H_3O^{+}$; $iv$) Lindlar's catalyst,$H_2$
$(D)$ $i$) Lindlar's catalyst,$H_2$; $ii$) $NaBH_4$; $iii$) $SnCl_2 / HCl$; $iv$) $H_3O^{+}$

Give the conversion of the following:
$(i)$ Benzoic acid from Bromobenzene
(ii) $2$-methylbutan-$2$-ol from Propenone

An organic compound $P$ having molecular formula $C_6H_6O_3$ gives a ferric chloride test and does not have an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The compound $P$ reacts with $3$ equivalents of $NH_2OH$ to produce oxime $Q$. Treatment of $P$ with excess methyl iodide in the presence of $KOH$ produces compound $R$ as the major product. Reaction of $R$ with excess iso-butylmagnesium bromide followed by treatment with $H_3O^{+}$ gives compound $S$ as the major product. The total number of methyl $(-CH_3)$ groups in compound $S$ is . . . .

In which of the following reactions is the product formed the same?

Which among the following compounds does not exhibit the iodoform test?
