AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Option-B (2-methylpropene)

Explanation:

The reaction scheme is attached below,

In first step the alkene acts a nucleophile and adds H⁺ across double bond yielding a stable tertiary carbocation.

In the second step the oxygen atom of methanol acts as nucleophile and attacks the positive charge carrying carbon atom resulting in the formation of t-butyl methyl ether.
