The reaction involves conjugate addition to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound. The 1,2-addition product is the kinetic product (KCP), formed faster at lower temperatures. The 1,4-addition product is the thermodynamic product (TCP), more stable and major at equilibrium. Therefore, the statement "Major product is formed by 1,2-addition" is incorrect because the thermodynamically controlled 1,4-addition gives the major product.

Final Answer: Major product is formed by 1,2-addition.
