Question
**Educational Content: Reaction Mechanisms**

**Question:**
Identify the major product of the following reaction:

**Reaction Details:**
- Reactant: An alkane structure depicted with a tertiary hydrogen.
- Reagents: \( \text{Br}_2 \) and light (\( h\nu \)).

**Options:**
1. A primary alkyl bromide product (Br attached to a primary carbon).
2. Statement: "There is no reaction under these conditions or the product is not listed here."
3. A secondary alkyl bromide product (Br attached to a secondary carbon).
4. A tertiary alkyl bromide product (Br attached to a tertiary carbon).

**Visual Explanation:**
A diagram illustrates an alkane reacting with bromine in the presence of light, which often leads to free radical halogenation. This process typically prefers the most substituted carbon due to the stability of the radical intermediate. 

**Instructions:**
Select the option that corresponds to the major product formed under the given conditions.
