Solution
The correct option is DCH3CO3H followed by NaOH/H2O OsO4 with alkene forms osmate ester which can be hydrolyzed to produce a cis-glycol and regenerate the osmium tetroxide.
Ozonolysis O3+Zn/H2O splits the alkene at double bond and forms two aldehydes.
Peracid CH3CO3H forms epoxide with alkene. Epoxide on reaction with NaOH/H2O produces trans vicinal diol.
With HIO4 alkene undergoes oxidative cleavage to form to aldehydes.
