The correct answer is:
(c) In the given reaction,
The cycloalkenes form an intermediate product using $\mathrm{Hg}^{2+}$ salt, like $\mathrm{Hg}(\mathrm{OAc})_2$ in aqueous THF, which on reduction by $\mathrm{NaBH}_4 \cdot \mathrm{OH}$ gives corresponding alcohol as final product. The whole reaction occurs as follows:
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
