Multiple Choice

cis-3-Hexene is treated with OsO₄ (osmium tetroxide) , then water. Which one statement is true about the product?

A) The product is the meso stereoisomer of 3,4-hexanediol, and it is optically inactive.
B) The product is mostly the (3S,4R) stereoisomer of 3,4-hexanediol, and it is optically active.
C) The product is mostly optically active (3S,4S) -3,4-hexanediol.
D) The product is mostly optically active (3R,4R) -3,4-hexanediol.
E) The product is a racemate consisting of equal amounts of (3S,4S) -3,4-hexanediol and (3R,4R) -3,4-hexanediol.f.
None of the these is correct because 3,4-hexanediol is not the product of this reaction.
