Which of the following reactions will produce a chiral molecule?

The reaction $Ph-CDO \xrightarrow{50\% \text{ aq. } NaOH, \text{ warm}} Ph-COO^- + \text{an alcohol}$. This alcohol is:

The major product formed in the following reaction is:

An organic compound $(A)$ with molecular formula $C_8H_8O$ forms an orange-red precipitate with $2,4-DNP$ reagent and gives a yellow precipitate on heating with iodine in the presence of sodium hydroxide. It neither reduces Tollens' or Fehlings' reagent,nor does it decolourise bromine water or Baeyer's reagent. On drastic oxidation with chromic acid,it gives a carboxylic acid $(B)$ having molecular formula $C_7H_6O_2$. Identify the compounds $(A)$ and $(B)$ and explain the reactions involved.

The given reaction is: $R_2C=O + HCN \rightarrow R_2C(OH)CN$

Which of the following is incorrect for $Acetophenone$?
