Which would be the best way to carry out the following synthesis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The synthesis involves addition of HBr to a double bond, followed by hydration of the resulting alkene. The use of peroxides in the presence of HBr (option B) is typically used for radical addition reactions and is not necessary for this synthesis. Option D reverses the order of the steps, which would lead to a different product. Options A and E both involve simple addition of HBr to the double bond without hydration, which is not the desired product. Option C, on the other hand, combines the necessary steps of addition of HBr to the double bond and hydration in a straightforward manner.
