Transcribed Image Text:### Question:
What is the major product of the following reaction?
Below this text, a chemical reaction is shown involving an alkyne compound reacting with hydrochloric acid (HCl).
### Options:
1. Option 1: A compound with two chlorine atoms (Cl) located on the same carbon atom, which is now a single bond structure, and hydrogen atoms (H) around it.
2. Option 2: A compound with one chlorine atom (Cl) on one carbon and another chlorine atom (Cl) on a different carbon, both are single bond structures, with hydrogen atoms (H) around them.
3. Option 3: A compound with two chlorines (Cl) bonded to two adjacent carbon atoms, both with single bonds, and hydrogen atoms (H) distributed around them.
4. Option 4: A compound with one chlorine atom (Cl) added to what was initially the alkyne's second carbon and hydrogen atoms (H) distributed around it, forming an alkene structure.
This question is intended to test the knowledge of major products in hydrohalogenation reactions of alkynes. The user needs to apply their understanding of regioselectivity and Markovnikov's rule to identify the correct major product.
**Note:** There is no diagram or graph present in the image that needs explaining beyond the described chemical structures and reactions.
