Options

A. `CH_3 - CH_2 - underset(CH_3)underset(|)overset(Cl)overset(|)C -overset(OH)overset(|)(CH) - CH_3`
B. `CH_3 - CH_2 -underset(CH_3)underset(|)overset(Cl)overset(|)C - overset(Cl)overset(|)(CH) - CH_3`
C. `CH_3 - CH_2 - underset(CH_3)underset(|)overset(OH)overset(|)C - underset(Cl)underset(|)(CH) - CH_3`
D. `CH_3 - underset(CH_3)underset(|)overset(CH_3)overset(|)C - overset(OH)overset(|)(CH)- CH_3`

Answer

C

Explanation

Addition takes place according to Markownikoff’s rule in which `Cl^(+)` goes to that carbon atom which is more hydrogenated.
