    The compound given in option A is ,β− hydroxy- ketone compound and it will most readily dehydrate. The dehydration product is conjugated compound.  In option A and C, the end product formed will be the same. But the carbocation in option A will be more stable, because the positive charge is farther from electron-withdrawing oxygen in case of option A as compared to option C.
