Solution
The correct option is BBH3,THF/NaOH,H2O2 Alkaline permanganate and osmium tetrahydroxide introduces vicinal dihydroxy groups.
Ozone breaks the double bond.
Hydroboration-oxidation reaction gives an anti-Markovnikov addition product giving specifically a primary alcohol.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
Mechanism of this reaction:
