Solution
The correct option is C This reaction occurs according to Markovnikov's rule which states that when an unsymmetrical alkene undergo hydrohalogenation, the negative part of the addendum (adding molecule) gets attached to that doubly bonded C which posses lesser number of hydrogen atoms.
By markovnikov's rule, the Cl− gets adds to the carbon which has lesser number of hydrogen atom and forms a alkene. Formed alkene reacts with HI molecule to undergo markovnikov's addition. Here, the carbocation formed is an tertiary carbocation which is more stable. Thus the major product is (c)
