The primary product of hydration of an alkene follows:

A Anti-Markovnikov rule

B Markovnikov rule (OH adds to more substituted carbon)

C No selectivity

D Random addition

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Acid-catalyzed hydration follows Markovnikov: water adds to form the more substituted alcohol.

💡 Why is B) the correct answer?

The correct answer to the question "The primary product of hydration of an alkene follows:" is Option B: Markovnikov rule (OH adds to more substituted carbon).

The other options — A) Anti-Markovnikov rule, C) No selectivity, D) Random addition — are incorrect for this Everyday Science question. As explained above: Acid-catalyzed hydration follows Markovnikov: water adds to form the more substituted alcohol.
