Question:medium

What is the major product [Z] formed when compound [C] undergoes the following reactions?
[C] (Cyclohexyl bromide) $\xrightarrow[\Delta]{\text{alc. KOH}$ [X] $\xrightarrow{\text{HCl}}$ [Y] $\xrightarrow{\text{(i) alc. KCN, (ii) dil. HCl}}$ [Z]}

Show Hint

Hydrolysis of organic nitriles ($-\text{CN}$) with warm dilute mineral acids like $\text{HCl}$ always produces a carboxylic acid group ($-\text{COOH}$). Looking at the structural names, Option (A) is the straightforward product representing this final functional conversion.
