Solution

The correct option is C $1$ -bromopropane
The organic compound obtained during the addition of HBr to propene in the presence of peroxide catalyst is 1-bromopropane.

$C H_{3} - C H = C H_{2} + H B r \to C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - B r$

Bromine is added to less substituted terminal C atom. This effect is called peroxide effect or Kharasch effect or also popularly named as anti-Markownikoff's rule.

Option C is correct.
