The correct answer is:
Firstly, 1-phenylethanol undergoes nucleophillic substitution reaction with $\mathrm{HBr}$ to give alkyl halide which further undergoes elimination reaction in presence of alcohols $\mathrm{KOH}$ to give styrene.


Styrene further undergoes hydroboration oxidation reaction to give 2-phenylethanol.
