Which of the following reaction (s) can generate a five membered ring as the major product?









Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
D. 
Step-by-step solution
will attack the double bond to form a cyclic halonium ion. It then undergoes on intramolecular reaction. Formation of five membered ring is favoured because (i) attack by a nucleophile on a halonium ion normally takes place at the more substituted site. (ii) Formation of five membered ring is more probable.
