The major product (P) in the following transformation is
To determine the major product (P) of the given transformation, let's analyze each step of the reaction:

Considering the steps and reagents, particularly the presence of the ether group initially and converting into an alcohol, we deduce the transformation results in adding an additional alcohol group and retaining the ether group after transformation. The key alteration from the given structure forms a diol with the existing ether.
Thus, the major product formed will be 2-Ethoxyhexane-1,6-diol, as reduction creates a diol structure, which leaves the OEt intact and adds -OH groups at terminal positions.
The final product (P) is
Consider the following statements with respect to citral
(A). Geranial and Neral are geometrical isomers of citral.
(B). It forms geranic acid on heating with potassium hydrogen sulphate.
(C). It gives 6-methylhept-5-en-2-one on treating with potassium carbonate.
(D). On oxidation with silver oxide it yields Laevulic acid.
