Consider the above reaction sequence, Product "A" and Product "B" formed respectively are:
Product $$\mathrm{A}$$ is formed by acetalisation of the aldehyde group using ethanol and dry $$\mathrm{HCl}$$.
The primary bromide remains unaffected under these acidic conditions.
Product $$\mathrm{A}$$ is:
$$\mathrm{Br-CH_2-CH(OEt)_2}$$
Product $$\mathrm{B}$$ is formed by $$\mathrm{E2}$$ dehydrohalogenation using potassium tert-butoxide.
The strong bulky base removes $$\mathrm{HBr}$$ to form a double bond.
Product $$\mathrm{B}$$ is:
$$\mathrm{H_2C=C(OEt)_2}$$
Correct Option: $$\mathrm{A}$$
