Solution

The correct option is C Acidic - $(C H_{3})_{2} C (O C H_{3}) - C H_{2} O H$ ; Basic - $(C H_{3})_{2} C O H - C H_{2} (O C H_{3})$
Acidic Medium:
1. Similar to $S N_{1}$ mechanism.
2. Attracks from more hindered side.
Basic Medium:
1. Similar to $S N_{2}$ mechansm.
2. attacks from less hindered side.
