Expert Solution
Step 1

Option A is the correct choice. 

Because it gives the less substituted alcohol. The reaction is known as Hydroboration oxidation reaction. 

It follows the Anti-Markonikov rule to give the major product. 

In rest of the given options Markonikov rule is followed. 

According to Markonikov rule, generation of the positive charge always takes place at more substituted carbon atom . So that nucleophile attaches with that carbon to give the more substituted product.
