The correct answer is:
One acetal and one hemiacetal
Cyclic hemiacetal are formed when an alcohol oxygen atom adds to the carbonyl carbon of an aldehyde or a ketone. Molecules (aldehyde or ketone), which contain both an alcohol and a carbonyl group, can instead undergo an intramolecular reaction to form a cyclic hemiacetal/ hemiketal.
