Explanation

Solution

Reaction

The correct reaction involves the substitution of an alkyl halide with HI (Hydrogen iodide), which proceeds with the formation of a halide and is a typical example of nucleophilic substitution. This reaction follows Markovnikov’s addition rule where the halide (in this case, iodine) adds to the more substituted carbon of the alkyl halide.
