B. 1, 4 addition product only
C. Both 1, 2 and 1, 4 addition products
D. No reaction

Answer

C

Explanation

`underset("1,3 - butadiene")(CH_(2) = CH - CH = CH_(2)) overset("1 mole" Br_2) rarr`
`underset("1,4-dibromo -2-butene")(Br-CH_(2)-CH=CH)-CH_2 + underset("3,4- dibromo-1-butene")(Br - CH_2-underset(Br)underset(|)(CH)-CH=CH_(2))`
