Solution
The correct option is D The major product is formed faster and is less stable than the minor product The statement D, "The major product is formed faster and is less stable than the minor product" is true. When bulky base is used, Hoffman product (less substituted alkene) will be formed during dehydrobromination. It is due to kinetic control. It is rapidly formed and less stable than thermodynamically controlled product, which is saytzeff product or more substituted alkene.
