H)  The product of this reaction is (2R,3R) -3-methyl-2-pentanol and an equal amount of its enantiomer. I)  The product of this reaction is a racemate. J)  The product of this reaction is meso-3-methyl-2-pentanol. K)  The product of this reaction is racemic 3-methyl-3-pentanol. L)  The E isomer of the starting material would give the diastereomer(s)  of the products formed from the Z isomer above. M)  The E isomer of the starting material would give the enantiomer(s)  of the products formed from the Z isomer above. N)  The product of this reaction is a secondary alcohol. O)  The product of this reaction is a tertiary alcohol. Select the correct statements.
