Answer:
The correct order it b. always add acid last.
Explanation:
Adding acid first could result on a violent reaction and heat or fumes can be generated. The best approach is to always add all the water or non-acid component first, or add a significant portion before adding the acid slowly to the mixture.
Electron - negligible mass, negative charge, orbits the nucleus
Proton - 1 AMU, positive charge, in the nucleus
Neutron, 1 AMU, no charge, in the nucleus

See explanation
Explanation:
The reaction that we are considering here is quite a knotty reaction. It is difficult to decide if the mechanism is actually E1 or E2 since both are equally probable based on the mass of scientific evidence regarding this reaction. However, we can easily assume that the methylenecyclohexane was formed by an E1 mechanism.
Looking at the products, one could convincingly assert that the reaction leading to the formation of the two main products proceeds via an E1 mechanism with the formation of a carbocation intermediate as has been shown in mechanism attached to this answer. Possible rearrangement of the carbocation yields the 3-methylcyclohexene product.
