The following conversion is carried out using 
(a)hydroboration oxidation followed by Jones oxidation
(b)Wacker oxidation followed by haloform reaction
(c)oxymercuration-determination followed by Jones oxidation
(d)ozonolysis followed by haloform reaction
Answer
Answer: B ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
Wacker oxidation turns the terminal alkene into the methyl ketone PhCH(Me)COCH₃. The haloform reaction then removes CH₃, giving 2-phenylpropanoic acid (b).
