Solution
The image shows a chemical reaction where a tertiary alkyl halide undergoes elimination. Tertiary substrates favor E1 mechanism due to stable carbocation formation. The major product follows Zaitsev's rule, giving the more substituted alkene.
Key reaction: mechanism.
Final answer: Major product is formed by dehydrohalogenation by E1 mechanism.
