Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:The addition of HBr to H? C−CH? −CH=CH? proceeds via carbocation formation.
Formation of a 1° Carbocation (A): H? C−CH?
Formation of a 2° Carbocation (B): H? C−CH? −C? H−CH?
The 2° carbocation (B) is more stable than the 1° carbocation (A). Therefore, the activation energy (Ea) for the formation of B is lower, and B is formed faster.
