In terms of a deeper scientific reason, I am not sure, but the basic reason is quite simple. "Mud" tends to look like a mix between a solid, dirt, and a liquid, water or some other liquid. Since it is, in fact, a cross between a solid and a liquid, it has properties of both. It has certain physical and visual properties that only a solid would have, such as texture and opaqueness, but it also has physical properties of a liquid. Since it leans more towards the liquid side than the solid side, we say mud "flows" rather than saying that it "rolls" or "bounces".
Alkenes on reacting with ozone results in the formation of ozonide which undergo reductive cleavage in presence of dimethyl sulfide to form carbonyl compounds (aldehyde or ketone). Whereas in presence of hydrogen peroxide it undergoes oxidative cleavage to form carboxylic acids or ketones.
Since, A alkene yields 4-heptanone only on treatment with ozone and DMS thus, it implies that both the chains on the side of the double-bond are similar the product is 4-heptanone that means the double bond is present between the chains at the 4th carbon. Therefore the structure of compound A is 4,5-dipropyloct-4-ene.
The reaction is as shown in the image.
The reaction of A with m-CPBA (meta-perchlorobenzoic acid) followed by aqueous acid 
is shown in the image.
m-CPBA (meta-perchlorobenzoic acid) is a peracid and forms epoxides on reacting with alkenes.
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When a weak acid reacts with a strong base then it results into the formation of a basic solution. Hence, the resulting solution will always have a pH greater than 7.
Since, at the equivalence point number of hydrogen ions become equal to the hydroxide ions. Therefore, pH of solution will be about 7.
So at the equivalence point, the weak acid will get neutralized due to the addition of strong base. Therefore, it will lead to the formation of conjugate base.
As a result, the solution will become slightly basic in nature.
Thus, we can conclude that at the equivalence point, the acid has all been converted into its conjugate base, resulting in a weakly acidic solution because at the equivalence point, the acid has all been converted into its conjugate base, resulting in a weakly basic solution.
