As we learnt,

The asymmetrical alkenes follow Markovnikov's rule during addition forming secondary or tertiary alkyl halides as the corresponding carbocations are relatively stable.

In case of propene, a secondary halide will be obtained as the major product.

\mathrm{CH_3-CH= CH_2 +HX \rightarrow CH_3-CH(X)-CH_3}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (2)
