What type of reaction is the formation of aldol from aldehyde?

The starting material is $2,3-\text{dimethylbut-2-ene}$. It undergoes ozonolysis followed by reduction with $Zn/H_2O$ to form product $A$. Product $A$ then reacts with $CH_3MgBr$ followed by hydrolysis to form product $B$. Identify product $B$.

The same product $(A)$ is formed in both of the following reactions:
$1. PhMgBr + CH_3-CN \xrightarrow{H_3O^{+}} (A)$
$2. Ph-COOH \xrightarrow{(1) \text{ excess } CH_3Li, (2) H_3O^{+}} (A)$
Identify product $(A)$.
