Carbocation: carbon atom bears positive charged species with three bonds is called Carbocation and it plays vital intermediate in organic synthesis. Carbocation migratory aptitude is mainly depends on the stability of the carbocation. This type of carbocation undergoes inter or intra molecule reactions and it form more stable product this type of rearrangement called carbocation rearrangement.
Carbocation’s are classified in to three types as primary, secondary and tertiary depending on the number of carbon atoms which is attached to the ionized carbon.
Tertiary carbocation is more stable than secondary carbocation, secondary carbocation is more stable than the primary carbocation as shown below.
Hydration:
When alkene is undergoes hydration with water in the presence of sulfuric acid which yields the alcohol. In this reaction, the water molecule will behave like a hydrogen halide to the alkene which gives the addition product this reaction is known as a hydration reaction.

Markovnikov’s rule: unsymmetrical alkene reacts with hydrogen halide, halide ions goes to the more substitution position of carbon-carbon double bond which provides alkyl halides.
Explanation of Solution
The 2-butene reacts with hydrogen iodide forms carbocation intermediate, then iodine ion reacts with carbocation yields addition product B. Tertiary carbocation is more stable than secondary carbocation, secondary carbocation is more stable than the primary carbocation.
