JEE MainChemistryAlcohols Phenols and EthersMCQ+4 / −1
Choose the correct option for the following reactions. 

- A'A' and 'B' are both Markovnikov addition products.
- B'A' is Markovnikov product and 'B' is anti-Markovnikov product.
- C'A' and 'B' are both anti-Markovnikov products.
- D'B' is Markovnikov and 'A' is anti-Markovnikov product.

Correct answer: B
The question refers to products A and B, but the actual reaction scheme/image showing how A and B are formed is missing from the prompt. Without the reactants/reagents, it is impossible to determine whether each product is Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov.
Step 1: What is needed to solve this?
To decide between Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov addition, we must know:
- The alkene/alkyne substrate
- The reagent/conditions for formation of A and B
- The actual structures of A and B or the reaction diagram
Step 2: Why the answer cannot be derived from the text alone
The options only state possibilities:
- A: both Markovnikov
- B: A Markovnikov, B anti-Markovnikov
- C: both anti-Markovnikov
- D: B Markovnikov, A anti-Markovnikov
But since the reaction scheme is absent, there is no chemical basis to classify A or B.
Step 3: Comparison with stored answer
The stored correct answer is B, but because the essential reaction information is missing, I cannot independently verify that choice from the provided prompt alone.
If you share the reaction image/scheme, I can determine the correct option rigorously.
