JEE Main 25 June 2022, Shift 1, Chemistry Q73

Question 73 of 90 in this shift, Chemistry question 13 of 30, Section A.

The product formed in the following reaction. [figure: (CH3)2C=CH2\mathrm{(CH_3)_2C{=}CH_2} drawn with two CH3\mathrm{CH_3} on the left carbon and =CH2\mathrm{{=}CH_2}, plus H attached to a carbon bearing three CH3\mathrm{CH_3} groups, arrow labelled H⊕\mathrm{H^{\oplus}}] ? is :

The figure, in words

Reaction drawn: a carbon with two CH3\mathrm{CH_3} groups double-bonded to CH2\mathrm{CH_2}, plus H-C(CH3\mathrm{CH_3})(CH3\mathrm{CH_3})(CH3\mathrm{CH_3}), with arrow over which H⊕\mathrm{H^{\oplus}} is printed, then '? is :'. Options are condensed structural drawings.
