Solution

The correct option is B (CH3)2C=CHCH2OH
Weak electrophile H2O is used in the given substitution reaction hence, it will favour SN1 mechanism.
Allyl system favour both SN1 and SN2 mechanism but due to formation of a stable carbocation, they undergo
SN1 reaction at a faster rate.

Major and minor products are determined by steric hindrance.
The attack of nucleophile is faster at the less-hindered end of the allylic system.
Major product also depends on the stability of the alkene compound formed.
Since, (c) is the more substituted alkene and has a less steric carbocation intermediate.
It is the major product.
