Solution

The correct option is C
Hg(OCOCH₃)₂. THF / NaBH₄. NaOH

The product has been formed according to Markovnikovi addition.

Option (a) would produce a benzylic carbonation.
Option (c) $\Rightarrow$ Oxymercuration Demercuration

This would have yielded a hydration product according to Markovnikov addition.

Note: Option B gives Anti Markovnikovi product

So Answer Option is C.

$(i) H g (O A c)_{2} ⇌ + H g (O A c) + O A c^{-}$
