The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6\left|\mathrm{THF}, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\right| \mathrm{OH}^{-}$
The suitable reagent x for the conversion,
$\underset{\text { Butene }}{\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}}=\mathrm{CH}_2 \xrightarrow{\mathrm{X}} \underset{\text { Butanol }}{\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}}$
is $\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6\left|\mathrm{THF}, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\right| \mathrm{OH}$.
Alkenes react with diborane $\left(\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6\right)$ in presence of THF or diglyme to form alkyl borane (by hydroboration) which on oxidation gives alcohol. The reaction is known as hydroboration-oxidation reaction.
