Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a radioactive process involving the splitting of a large unstable nucleus into smaller/lighter nuclei with the release of large amount of energy. The large amount of energy is achieved by bombarding fast moving neutron against the the unstable nucleus of the large substance/elements undergoing fission. The resulting energy (produced from the fission) is used in nuclear reactors to heat water (to produce electricity), which can also cause a turbine to convert its kinetic energy into mechanical energy.

Answer:

Most substituted alkene is produced as a major product

Explanation:

Dehydration of 3-methyl-2-butanol proceeds through E1 mechanism to form alkenes.
Most substituted alkene is produced as major product because of presence of highest number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms corresponding to the produced double bond (Saytzeff product).
Here, a H-shift also occurs in one of the intermediate step during dehydration to produce more stable tertiary carbocation.
Reaction mechanism has been shown below.
