Correct answer: (c) secondary or tertiary alcohol
Explanation:
CH3 - CH = CH2 + H2O \(\overset{H_2SO_4}\longrightarrow\) \(CH_3-\underset{OH}{\underset{|}{CH}}-CH_3\)
\(CH_3-\overset{CH_3}{\overset{|}{C}} = CH_2 + H_2O\)\(\overset{H_2SO_4}\longrightarrow\) \(CH_3 - \overset{CH_3}{\overset{|}{\underset{OH}{\underset{|}{C}}}}-CH_3\)
Addition follows Markovnikov’s rule.
