    Q:

    		 The reaction below depicts a 1,2-hydride shift which is a reaction that heavily favors the products.


    The reason for strongly favoring the products is:

    		 

    A

    		 the primary cabocation is more charged than the secondary carbocation and pulls the hydrogen atom toward itself

    B

    		 the hydride shift favors a secondary carbocation rather than a primary carbocation

    C

    		 methyl groups are more electronegative and pull positive charges toward themselves

    D

    		 the secondary carbocation is less stericaly hindered than the primary carbocation
