The reaction involves the addition of HBr across the double bond of propene. Since Markovnikov's rule states that the hydrogen atom will add to the carbon atom with more hydrogen atoms, the Br atom will attach to the carbon atom with fewer hydrogen atoms. This leads to the formation of 2-bromopropane as the major product (III) and 1-bromopropane as the minor product (II). Therefore, the correct answer is C, which represents the major product III.
