Expert Solution
Step 1

The elimination reaction E2 is a bimolecular elimination, which has only one step. A new bond is formed to break carbon hydrogen and carbon-halogen bonds. The major product obtained from an elimination reaction is the most stable alkene compound.

Step 2

In the given reactant, hydrogen and bromine are at anti positions, hence the option C will be major product. The eliminated hydrogen is in same plane of bromine in the formed alkene.

The product formed is as follows,
