**Predicting Major Products in Alkyne Reactions with HX**

In this exercise, we aim to predict the major products resulting from the addition of one equivalent of hydrogen halides (HX) to various alkynes. Here are the examples provided:

(a) An alkyne featuring a phenyl group (Ph) and a terminal triple bond. The reaction with HBr is depicted, indicating the point of addition across the triple bond.

(b) A linear alkyne with a terminal triple bond, subjected to reaction with HCl. The drawing shows how the rearrangement occurs after the addition of HCl across the triple bond.

(c) A cyclic alkyne structure with a triple bond, reacting with HCl. This example depicts the transformation involving the addition of the halogen and hydrogen to the respective carbons involved in the original triple bond. 

For each reaction, typically, the halogen (X) adds to the more substituted carbon, following Markovnikov's rule, unless specific circumstances favor a different mechanism.
