The reaction involves the addition of HBr across the carbon-carbon double bond of propene. This is an example of an electrophilic addition reaction. The major product obtained will be the one where the bromine atom adds to the carbon atom that already has more hydrogen atoms attached to it (Markovnikov's rule). This gives us product II as the major product. Products I, III, and IV are all minor products that may be formed through different reaction pathways.
