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
