The given reaction involves the reaction between an alkene and HX (hydrogen halide). As per the Markovnikov's rule, the hydrogen atom from HX will add to the carbon atom of the alkene having more number of hydrogen atoms already attached to it. Therefore, in this case, the hydrogen atom will add to the carbon atom of the alkene having three hydrogen atoms attached to it, giving the product I. Hence, the correct answer is choice A.
