Solution

The correct option is A
$K O H$ ; $H g (O A c)_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ ; $N a B H_{4}$

The first is the $E 2$ elimination that gives the trisubstituted alkene as the major product. The resulting alkene (major product) is subjected to oxymercuration-demercuration to get the required product: 1-methylcyclopentanol.
