Solution

The correct option is C KMnO4
In the oxidation of alkene is performed in presence of acidic KMnO4, first diol forms which further oxidize to form ketone/aldehyde and by further oxidation of this acid will be formed as the final product.
The reaction is as follow:
CH2=CH2 + H2O +[O]KMnO4−−−−CH2OHCH2OH
