Question
**Title: Synthetic Transformation Sequences**

**Objective:**
Identify the sequence that successfully accomplishes the given synthetic transformation.

**Transformation Description:**
The transformation involves converting a styrene (vinyl benzene) to an ethoxy benzene (phenylethane) molecule.

**Reaction Options:**

- **Option (A):**
  1. React the compound with HBr.
  2. Follow with NaOMe.

- **Option (B):**
  1. React the compound with HBr.
  2. Follow with NaOMe.
  3. Incorporate a protective group, depicted as a peroxide with tert-butyl groups.

- **Option (C):**
  1. React the compound with HBr.
  2. Heat with MeOH (denoted by a delta symbol which indicates heating).

- **Option (D):**
  1. React the compound with HBr.
  2. Heat with MeOH (denoted by a delta symbol which indicates heating).
  3. Incorporate a protective group, depicted as a peroxide with tert-butyl groups.

**Graph/Diagram Explanation:**
- The primary structure transformation involves adding an ethoxy group to the styrene compound.
- Options (B) and (D) feature a peroxide structure that is meant to imply the use of a protective agent or transition state facilitator.

**Instructions:**
Consider the information provided for each sequence and identify the correct strategy to achieve the desired molecular conversion.
