Option B is the right answer.
Explanation:
- The reaction of an ether with hydrogen iodide reacts via the protonation and carbocation formation.
- Here the Proton of hydrogen iodide attacks the oxygen lone pair and forms an intermediate.
- This intermediate is released by formation of carbocation.
- Now the stability of carbocation varies as 3°>2°>1°.
- So the 3° carbocation is formed in the case of option B.
- The reaction process is attached below.
- This gives methyl alcohol and isobutyliodide.
