Solution
The correct option is D(CH3)2CHCH=CH2+HBrROOR−−−−→(CH3)2CHCH2CH2Br
(CH3)2CHCH=CH2+HBrROOR−−−−→(CH3)2CHCH2CH2Br
Addition of HBr in presence of ROOR proceeds through free radical mechanism. Net reaction is addition of a molecule of HBr to C=C double bond. Bromine is added to less substituted carbon atom.
