What will be the major product in this reaction?
**Question:** What is the major product obtained from the following reaction sequence?

**Reactions:**

1. Cyclohexane reacts with \( \text{Br}_2 \) and light (\( h\nu \)) to form compound A.
2. Compound A reacts with \( \text{t-BuOK} \) and \( \text{t-BuOH} \) under heat to form compound B.
3. Compound B undergoes:
   - i) \( \text{Hg(OAc)}_2 \), \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \), THF
   - ii) \( \text{NaBH}_4 \), \( \text{OH}^- \) 
   to form compound C.

**Options:**

- \( \text{I} \): Cyclohexanol
- \( \text{II} \): 2-Cyclohexenol
- \( \text{III} \): 3-Cyclohexenol
- \( \text{IV} \): Cyclohexanediol
- \( \text{V} \): 1,2-Cyclohexanediol

**Select the correct major product:**

- \( \text{IV} \)
- \( \text{V} \)
- \( \text{I} \)
- \( \text{II} \)
- \( \text{III} \)
