**Question:**

Predict the expected major product of the following reaction.

**Reaction:**

- **Reactant:** An alkene with a three-carbon chain and a double bond starting on the second carbon.
- **Reagent:** HCl.
- **Product box:** Empty box indicating where the product structure will appear.

**Answer Choices:**

1. **Racemic Mixture:**
   - Structure: Chlorine (Cl) attached to the second carbon of the three-carbon chain, with a wedge to indicate stereochemistry.

2. **Structure with Stereochemistry:**
   - Structure: Chlorine (Cl) attached to the second carbon with a dashed bond to indicate the opposite stereochemistry from the racemic choice.

3. **Linear Structure:**
   - Structure: Chlorine (Cl) attached to the end of the three-carbon chain.

4. **Cyclohexane Structure:**
   - Structure: Chlorine (Cl) attached to what looks like a six-membered ring.

5. **Vinyl Structure:**
   - Structure: Chlorine (Cl) attached to the central carbon of a three-carbon chain with a double bond at the end.
