The reactant is an alkene, which will undergo halogenation in the presence of a halogen (in this case, Cl2). The reaction results in the substitution of two chlorine atoms for two hydrogens in the alkene. The major product will be the one with both chlorine atoms on the same carbon atom, which is I. None of the other products (II, III, and IV) have both chlorine atoms on the same carbon atom.
