Question
**Instruction for Reaction Analysis**

For the reaction shown below, *circle* the major product obtained when the reaction is allowed to reach equilibrium. *Place a box* around the product that is formed the fastest.

**Reaction Details:**

1. The starting material is a cyclopentene (five-membered ring with a double bond).
2. The reagent used in the reaction is hydrochloric acid (H-Cl).
3. The products are various chlorinated cyclopentanes, each differing by the position of the chlorine atom and the configuration of additional methyl groups.

**Products:**

- Multiple structures show chlorination at different positions on the cyclopentane ring.
- Some structures feature methyl groups in addition to the chlorine atom.
- The products vary by the position of the chlorine and any additional substituents.

**Task:**

- Identify and *circle* the major product at equilibrium.
- Identify and *box* the product that forms the fastest, which is typically the kinetic product. 

Ensure that the analysis considers both thermodynamic stability and kinetic accessibility of the products.
