A

Ethylene

B

Propylene

C

2-methyl propene

D

Isoprene

Answer

Propylene

Explanation

Solution

CH3−CH=CH2+H2O→Conc.H2SO4Markownikoff’s ruleCH3−CH∣OH−CH3Isopropylalcohol\underset{}{CH_{3} - CH = CH_{2}} + H_{2}O\underset{\text{Markownikoff's rule}}{\overset{\quad\text{Conc.}H_{2}SO_{4}\quad}{\rightarrow}}\underset{\text{Isopropylalcohol}}{CH_{3} - \underset{\underset{OH}{|}}{CH} - CH_{3}}
