The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The reaction sequence involves:

  1. Hydroboration-Oxidation: B2H6, H2O2/OH adds water across the double bond with anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity.
  2. Oxymercuration-Demercuration: Hg(OAc)2, NaBH4/OH adds water across the double bond with Markovnikov regioselectivity.
