The main product of the following reaction is
:

- A(trans)
- B
- C(cis)
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The reaction is an acid-catalyzed dehydration of an alcohol.Protonation of and loss of gives a carbocation: .1,2-hydride shift from the benzylic position creates a more stable benzylic carbocation: .Loss of a proton results in a conjugated alkene: .Trans isomer is more stable than cis.
