B) Butan-1-ol
C) Butan-2-ol
D) Butan-2-one
Explanation

(d)
$CH_{3}CH_{2}C \equiv CH + H_{2}O\overset{\frac{HgSO_{4}}{H_{2}SO_{4}}}{\rightarrow}$
1-butyne
$OH$ $OH$
| |
$CH_{3}CH_{2}C = CH_{2}\overset{H_{2}O}{\rightarrow}CH_{3}CH_{2} - C - CH_{3}$
|
$OH$
unstable
$\overset{- H_{2}O}{\rightarrow}CH_{3}CH_{2} - C - CH_{3}$
||
