When 2-chloro-4-methylpent-2-ene reacts with HCl, it selectively produces 2,2-dichloro-4-methylpentane rather than 2,3-dichloro-4-methylpentane. Explain.

• A. 2,2-dichloro-4-methylpentane is selectively produced because it follows Zaitsev's rule.
• B. 2,2-dichloro-4-methylpentane is selectively produced because it has a more stable carbocation intermediate.
• C. 2,2-dichloro-4-methylpentane is selectively produced because it has a less stable carbocation intermediate.
• D. 2,2-dichloro-4-methylpentane is selectively produced because it follows Markovnikov's rule.

Answer: (B)
