List-I contains various reaction sequences and List-II contains different phenolic compounds. Match each entry in List-I with the appropriate entry in List-II and choose the correct option.
An organic compound P having molecular formula C6H6O3 gives ferric chloride test and does not have intramolecular hydrogen bond. The compound P reacts with 3 equivalents of NH2OH to produce oxime Q. Treatment of P with excess methyl iodide in the presence of KOH produces compound R as the major product. Reaction of R with excess iso-butylmagnesium bromide followed by treatment with H3O+ gives compound S as the major product. The total number of methyl (-CH3) group(s) in compound S is .
