Solution

The correct option is C

Addition of HI to alkene:
In this reaction, the double bond attacks the H+ ion to form a relatively stable secondary carbocation. Further, it undergoes 1,2-methyl shift to form a stable tertiary carbocation followed by attack of I to form the major product.


Hence, option (a) is correct.
