MHT CET Chemistry question

The above change can be proceed by

(A)acid catalysed hydration
(B)oxymercuration-demercurationCorrect
(C)hydroboration-oxidation
(D)any method mentioned above

Answer: (B)

Solution

The product is the Markovnikov alcohol without skeletal change; oxymercuration-demercuration gives Markovnikov addition without carbocation rearrangement, while acid-catalysed hydration
