Solution
The correct option is B racemic Addition of Br2 to an alkene forms a three-membered ring intermediate and thereby allow the attack of second Br from the other side of the intermediate. Thus it gives trans-dibromo alkane.
In cyclohexene, the possible products are A and B and they have the mirror images relationship with each other as A′=B. Thus, product will be a racemic mixture. Option B is correct.
