Solution

The correct option is B CH3CH(OCH2CH3)CH2CH3
The sequence of the reactions is as shown.
CH2=CHCH2CH3HBr/H2O−−−−−CH3CH(Br)CH2CH3AC2H5ONa−−−−−CH3CH(OCH2CH3)CH2CH3B
In the first step, a molecule of HBr is added to C=C double bond. Bromine atom is added to more substituted C atom and H atom is added to less substituted C atom. Second step is williamson synthesis in which sodium alkoxide reacts with alkyl halide to form an ether.
