Consider the following reaction:
Identify the structure of the major product X.

Solution
The correct option is B
The reaction proceeds via free radical bromination, a mechanism which is very selective, unlike free radical chlorination.
Hence, X will have the most stable radical possible under the circumstances. Hence, we get the tertiary free radical such that the carbon deuterium bond is intact (this is because C-D bond is stronger than C-H bond):
