Correct answer: B
$$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2+\left(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{BH}_2\right)_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{BH}_2 \xrightarrow{\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_2 \mathrm{BH}$$
$$ \xrightarrow{\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_3 \mathrm{~B} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2 / \bar{\mathrm{OH}}}$$ $$\mathrm{\mathop {C{H_3} - C{H_2} - C{H_2} - OH}\limits_{\Pr opan - 1 - ol\,(Major)}}$$

Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
