### Organic Chemistry Reaction Analysis

**Instructions:**

1) Identify the **MAJOR organic product(s)** of the reactions shown below and include all stereochemistry as appropriate. Also, identify any meso compounds if they are formed.

2) Determine whether a solution of the product(s) would be **optically active** or **not active** and provide a simple reasoning to support your choice.

#### Reaction Schemes:

- **Reaction A:**
  - Reagents: 
    - Step 1: \( BH_3 \cdot THF \)
    - Step 2: \( NaOH/H_2O_2 \)

- **Reaction B:**
  - Reagents:
    - \( H_2 \) 
    - Catalyst: \( Pd/C \)

- **Reaction C:**
  - Reagents:
    - \( HBr \)
    - Peroxide: \( ROOR \)

- **Reaction D:**
  - Reagents:
    - \( Br_2 \)
    - Light: \( hv \)

- **Reaction E:**
  - Reagents:
    - \( H_2 \)
    - Catalyst: \( Pd/C \)

Each reaction involves a different starting alkene or compound, depicted graphically. The chosen reagents and conditions will lead to specific transformations, such as hydroboration-oxidation in Reaction A or hydrogenation in Reactions B and E. Optical activity considerations involve evaluating chirality in the products.
