C. C. `Me_(3)C-CH_(2)CI` B. `Me-overset(Me)overset(|)underset(CI)underset(|)C-CH_(2)-Me`
D. D. `Me-overset(Me)overset(|)underset(CI)underset(|)C-CH_(2)Me` B. `Me-overset(Me)overset(|)underset(CI)underset(|)C-CH_(2)-Me`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B

The formation of (B) does not involve carbocation formation and rearrangement, so the product (B) is `Me_(3)CH_(2)CI`.
