A. is the correct answer.
Answer:
(1) Bromination, (2) E2 elimination and (3) epoxidation
Explanation:
- In the first step, -OH group in cyclopentanol is replaced by more facile leaving group Br by treating cyclopentanol with

- In the second step, E2 elimination in presence of strong base e.g. NaOEt/EtOH produce cyclopentene
- In the third step, treatment of cyclopentene with mCPBA produces 1,2-epoxycyclopentane
- Full reaction scheme has been shown below
