Oxidation of alkenes by cleavage with the acidic or alkaline `KmNO_(4)` of acidic `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)` at higher temperature yields products depending upon the nature of alkene. A hot solultion of `KMnO_(4)` is a strong oxidising agent which gives only ketones and carboxylic acids and not aldehydes (as they cannot be isolated). Oxidation of alkenes with `OsO_(4)` followed by alcoholic `NaHSO_(3)` or `Na_(2)SO_(3)` yeilds glycols. Answer the following questions: Which of the following compounds on treatment with `OsO_(4)`, followed by `Na_(2)SO_(3)` will give cis-2-methyl butan-2,3-diol?A. 2-Methyl-2-buteneB. 4-Methyl-2-penteneC. 2,3-Dimethyl-2-buteneD. 2,2-Dimethyl-2-butene
