  • \( CH_3CH_2CH_2Br \)
  • \( CH_3CH(Br)CH_3 \)
  • \( CH_3COC_6H_5 \)
  • \( C_6H_5COBr \)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Reaction Pathway
1. Dehydration of propanol (\( C_3H_7OH \)) with \( H_2SO_4 \) at 443 K → Propene (\( C_3H_6 \)).
2. Addition of \( HBr \) to propene (Markovnikov addition) → 1-Bromopropane (\( CH_3CH_2CH_2Br \)).
