Solution

The correct options are
A cisBut2ene+OSO4+NaHSO3
C cisBut2ene+D2Pt
D transBut2ene+PhCO3H/H2O
a. cisCompound+SynadditionofD2
Since addition of D2 is syn (stereospecific) and one product is formed predominantly (regioselective).
b. cisCompound+Synhydroxylation
Hence it is both stereospecific and regioselective
c. cisCompound+AntiadditionofBr2
So the reaction is stereospecific (anti-addition) but nonregioselective since two compounds of and from are formed in equal amounts.
d. transCompound+Antihydroxylation
So it is both stereospecific and regioselective
Hence options A,B & D are correct.
