Solution
The correct option is A
Addition of HOX :
−OH gets attached to the more substituted C of the alkene and −Cl gets attached to the less substituted C. The product so formed is in accordance with Markovnikov’s Rule
For the given compound :
Carbon 3 is more substituted as compared to carbon 2 . So, −OH group attaches to more substituted carbon i.e. carbon 3 , and −Cl to less substituted carbon i.e. carbon 2 as shown :
