Solution
The correct option is CHBr (one equivalent) then Br2
The conditions that would be best to perform the given reaction are: HBr (1 equivalent) followed by bromine.
First, a molecule of HBr is added to carbon carbon triple bond according to Markownikoff's rule. Bromine atom is added to more substituted carbon atom and hydrogen atom is added to less substituted carbon atom. This is followed by the addition of a molecule of bromine to C=C double bond.
