Answer

a.

b.

c.

Step by step solution

01

Oxidative cleavage

In oxidative cleavage, the double bond is broken, and two carbonyl groups are formed.

Therefore, to yield a set of alkenes, the two carbonyls carbon should be joined together by eliminating the oxygen

02

Set of alkenes of oxidative cleavage

a.

Alkenes set

b.

Alkenes set

c.

Alkenes set
