Statement `I:` `1-`Butene on reaction with `HBr` in the presence of a peroxide produces `1-` bromobutane.
Statement `II:` It involves the formation of a primary radical.

Options

A. Statement `I` is true, Statement `II` is true, Statement `II` is the correct explanation of Statement `I`.
B. Statement`I` is true, Statement`II` is true, Statement `II` is not the correct explanation of Statement `I`.
C. Statement `I` is true, Statement `II` is false.
D. Statement `I` is false, Statement `II` is true.

Answer

c

Explanation

Statement `(I)` is correct but statement `(II)` is incorrect because `1-` butene on reaction with `HBr` in the presence of peroxide produces `1-`promobutane. In this reaction, the intermediate product is a secondary free radical.
