Title: Reaction Product Identification

**Chemical Reaction:**
- Reactants: 
  - Carbonyl compound with the structure: 
    - A five-carbon chain with a ketone group (C=O) on the second carbon.
- Reagents:
  - \( \text{Br}_2 \), 
  - \( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \).

**Question:**
What is the major product of this reaction?

**Product Options:**

- **A.** 3-Bromopentan-2-one
  - Structure: A five-carbon chain with a ketone on the second carbon and a bromine atom on the third carbon.

- **B.** Bromo-pentan-2-one
  - Structure: Similar to option A but with the bromine atom attached to the fourth carbon.

- **C.** Tribromo compound
  - Structure: A five-carbon chain with a ketone on the second carbon. The third, fourth, and fifth carbons each have a bromine atom attached.

- **D.** 2,4-Dibromopentan-2-one
  - Structure: A five-carbon chain with a ketone on the second carbon, bromine atoms on the second and fourth carbons, with the same carbonyl carbon now being positively charged.

**Answer Options:**

- B [ ]
- D [ ]
- C [ ]
- A [ ]

**Explanation:**
The reaction involves the bromination of a carbonyl compound, likely through an enol or enolate intermediate, leading to the formation of an alpha-brominated product. Evaluate the bromination pattern based on the reactivity of the carbonyl compound under acidic conditions.
