Solution

The correct option is C Markovnikovs rule
According to the Markovnikovs rule, the negative part of the unsymmetrical reagent adds to less hydrogenated ( more substituted) carbon atom of the double bond. So here the negative part of the addendum gets attach to that carbon which possess lesser number of hydrogen atoms.

Q. The negative part of the addendum adds on to the carbon atom joined to the least number of hydrogen atoms. This statement is called_________.

Q. Markovnikov’s rule:

Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions. They are triggered by the acid acting as an electrophile toward the π-electrons of the double bond.

Markovnikov’s rule states that when an unsymmetrically substituted alkene reacts with a hydrogen halide, the hydrogen atom adds to the carbon that has a greater number of hydrogens, e.g.,
