1) I add the proton to the C1-C2 double bond: I obtain a tertiary allylic carbocation and a secondary carbocation.
2) I add the proton to the C3-C4 double bond: I obtain a secondary carbocation and a secondary allylic carbocation.
3) The chloride ion bonds to the tertiary allylic carbocations stabilized by resonance from point 1: I obtain 3-chloro-3-methylcyclohexene and 3-chloro-1-methylcyclohexene.
These are the 1,2- and 1,4-addition products (can someone help me understand how I can distinguish them in this way?).
4) The chloride ion bonds to the secondary allylic carbocations stabilized by resonance from point 2: I obtain 6-chloro-1-methylcyclohexene (Is this the correct IUPAC name?). What type of products are these? 1,2 or 1,4?
I was also asked which of the four products are formed in the greatest quantity and why. I believe that 3-chloro-3-methylcyclohexene and 3-chloro-1-methylcyclohexene are formed in the greatest quantity because they are produced through the most stable intermediates. Am I correct? Do the other products not form at all, or do they form in larger quantities?
I really appreciate all the responses, they were very helpful! Thanks for your support!

Can’t anyone help me?

You need to draw your attempts. No one is going to decipher your text.

Note: you can post molecules using SMILES (see https://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=59314.0)
