Solution

The correct option is B 1-methylcyclohexene
Both $C_{2}$ and $C_{6}$ are having a H atom in anti-periplanar position to $C l$ . Zaitsev product, the more stable one is formed when $β - H$ from $C_{2}$ is removed. If $β - H$ from $C_{6}$ is removed, the less stable Hofmann product is formed. Hence, Zaitsev product is the major product formed.
