In the given reaction two products are expected.

The product (B) is formed as a major product because

Options

A. the carbocation `CH_(3)-overset(+)(C)H-CH_(3)` is formed which is more stable
B. the carbocation `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-overset(+)(C)H_(2)` is formed which is more stable
C. both carbocations are equally stable but the nucleophile attacks on central C atom
D. `CH_(3)-overset(+)(C)H-CH_(3)` can easily give a proton to attack `Br^(+)`.

Answer

A
