Halogen acids react with alcohols to for...

Halogen acids react with alcohols to form alkyl halides. The reaction follows a nucleophilic substitution mechanism. What will be the major product of the following reaction?
`CH_3-overset(CH_3)overset(|)(CH)-underset(OH)undeset(|)(CH)-CH_3+HCl to`

A

`CH_3underset(CH_3)underset(|)(CH)-underset(Cl)underset(|)(CH_3)`

B

`CH_3underset(Cl)underset(|)(CH)-underset(CH_3)underset(|)(CH)-CH_3`

C

`CH_3-underset(Cl)underset(|)overset(CH_3)overset(|)(C)-CH_2CH_3`

D

`CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2Cl`
