Answer the following questions: Which of the following alkenes on oxidation with hot KMnO_(4) gives cyclopentanone?

Alkenes undergo a variety of oxidation reactions. With cold and neutral or alkaline KMnO_(4) , alkenes are oxidised to give vicinal diols. Oxidation with hot KMnO_(4) undergoes cleavage of C=C bond leading to the formation of carboxylic acids, ketones and carbon dioxide depending on the nature ofalkene. Reductive ozonolysis of alkenes give aldehydes or ketones. An alkene 'X' on treatment with hot alkaline KMnO_(4) gives acetic acid. Alkene X' is
