Select the reaction have incorrect major product-

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The peroxide (Kharasch) effect operates only with HBr, not with HCl or HI. So HCl adds to 2-methylpropene by Markovnikov’s rule even with peroxide, giving tert-butyl chloride as the major product, not the 1-chloro-2-methylpropane shown. Hence option (A) depicts the incorrect major product.
