Structures of the products A and B in the following photo-deprotection reactions are:
(a)A= Option (a) structure 1 of 2, ABC26OR1083 B = Option (a) structure 2 of 2, ABC26OR1083
(b)A= Option (b) structure 1 of 2, ABC26OR1083 B = Option (b) structure 2 of 2, ABC26OR1083
(c)A= Option (c) structure 1 of 2, ABC26OR1083 B = Option (c) structure 2 of 2, ABC26OR1083
(d)A= Option (d) structure 1 of 2, ABC26OR1083 B = Option (d) structure 2 of 2, ABC26OR1083
