Solution

The correct option is C addition of water in presence of dil. H2SO4
To prepare 3-methylbutan-2-ol from 3-methylbut-1-ene shouls involve Markovnikov's addition of HOH across double bond
A. Addition of water in presence of dil. H2SO4 follows Markovnikov's addition of HOH across the alkene
B. Addition of HCI followed by reaction with dil. NaOH to an alkene can give substitution and elimination product after alkyl halide formation
C. Hydroboration-oxidation reaction follows Anti-Markovnikov's addition of HOH
D.Reimer - Tiemann reaction.is a chemical reaction used for the ortho-formylation of phenols
Thus the best method to prepare 3-methylbutan-2-ol from 3-methylbut-1-ene is the addition of water in presence of dil. H2SO4.
