Alkenes react with water in the presence of acid to form alcohols. Identify the steps involved in the mechanism of the reaction from the following :
a) Nucleophilic addition of hydroxide ion to alkene
b) Protonation of alkene by electrophilic attack of $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}$
c) Electrophilic attack of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ on carbanion
d) Nucleophilic attack of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ on carbocation
e) Loss of ${ }^{\ominus} \mathrm{OH}$ to form an alcohol
f) Loss of $\mathrm{H}^{\oplus}$ to form an alcohol
