Solution
The correct option is A First reaction will generate a free radical which is stabilized by cyanide group.
The alkene undergo homolytic cleavage at the double bond and the terminal radical couple with [A] (secondary radical being more stable will not couple with [A]) forming product B (the secondary radical combines with hydrogen radical generated in the first step).
