As we have learnt,

 

Cleavage of ether by acid -

–  Products forms are alcohol and haloalkane.

–  When HX is in excess

- wherein

-\:\:\:ROR'+HX\rightarrow RX+R'OH

-\:\:\:ROR'+2HX\rightarrow RX+R'X+H_{2}O

 

 After cleavage of O2 - C3 both oxygen with negetive charge and C with positive charge are resonance stablised.

 


Option 1)

C1−O2

Option 2)

O2−C3

Option 3)

C4−O5

Option 4)
