(b)
Interpretation: The intramolecular alkylation product formed from given reactants is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Protonation of an alkene forms a carbocation. This carbocation acts as an electrophile in a Friedel-Craft alkylation. The carbocation is generated in the presence of strong acid.
