Question
**Question:**

Which of the following products will arise from treating phthalic acid at high temperature?

**Chemical Reaction:**

Phthalic acid (structure shown on the left) is heated (indicated by the delta symbol, Δ), leading to one of the four products labeled as (A), (B), (C), or (D).

**Compounds:**

- **Compound A**: A ring structure with a ketone and a carboxylic acid group.
- **Compound B**: A cyclic anhydride structure.
- **Compound C**: A larger cyclic anhydride structure with two carbonyl groups adjacent.
- **Compound D**: A ring structure with two hydroxyl groups.

**Options:**

- ⬜ Compound A
- ⬜ Compound D
- ⬜ Compound C
- ⬜ Compound B

**Diagram Explanation:**

The image above shows a chemical transformation where phthalic acid is subjected to high temperature. The resultant product is one of the four specified compounds, and the question tests understanding of chemical reactivity and product formation under thermal conditions.
