The task requires understanding the appropriate reagents and conditions for each step of the synthesis process. The correct sequence involves using NaNH2 and ethyl bromide to form an intermediate, followed by hydrogenation with H2 and Lindlar's catalyst, ozonolysis with O3 and (CH3)2S, and finally, a reaction with Ba(OH)2 to achieve the desired product."}
