The thing you are talking about is the ozonolysis of alkene.Here in the question alkyne has been given so ozonolysis will be able to break only two of the three bonds of alkyne and hence option a is right.Also ozonolysis in the absence of zinc will convert aldehyde to acid. So ozonolysis doesn`t always yield aldehyde
