In acidic medium, the nucleophile (in this case, the CH3O- group) is added to the more substituted carbon of epoxide and a hydrogen atom attaches to the oxygen of the epoxide group to form an OH group attached to the less substituted carbon of the epoxide (reverse in case of basic medium) .
Thus, the name of the compound will be 2-methoxy-propanol.
2-methoxi, propanol is the answer
