Solution

The reaction involves the addition of HBr to an alkene, following Markovnikov's rule. The hydrogen adds to the less substituted carbon, and the bromine adds to the more substituted carbon. The given alkene is symmetric, so both carbons of the double bond are equivalent. Therefore, the major product is 2-bromopropane.

The chemical equation is: CH3-CH=CH2+HBrCH3-CHBr-CH3

Final Answer: The first option (2-bromopropane) is the major product.
