The answer should be D. The -OH on left won't be oxidised by cold, dilute KMnO4, but the alkene would be oxidised to a diol. When hot, conc. KMnO4 is used, that -OH group is oxidised to a ketone and the carbons with the double bond in the ring(alkene group) would be oxidised to Carboxylic acid and a ketone respectively.
