(b)
Interpretation:
The product structural formula obtained from hydration reaction of given alkene should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Addition of water across double bond: Alcohols can be prepared from alkenes by heating with water in the presence of an acid catalyst and the process is called hydration of alkenes.
Across the double bond, water addition occurs.
