Identifying the Product of a Grignard Reaction with 2-heptanone

Very Hard Organic Chemistry Carbonyl Chemistry

Consider a reaction between a carbonyl compound and a Grignard reagent, which typically results in the formation of an alcohol after hydrolysis. In one experiment, a specific ketone, 2-heptanone, was reacted with phenylmagnesium bromide.

After the reaction was completed, the mixture was quenched with dilute acid, resulting in a product that can be categorized based on its structural composition. Which of the following statements correctly identifies the product formed from this reaction?
