(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of the product formed in the given reaction is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Aldehydes or ketones on reaction with two equivalents of alcohol form acetals. Acetal formation takes place in the presence of acids, commonly p-toluenesulfonicacid. This is a nucleophilic addition reaction. Conversion of aldehydes or ketones to acetals is a reversible reaction.
