Default Hydrohalogenation of Butene with Hydrogen Bromide

The answer to the following reaction is given as choice E. I thought it should be D because, if the two carbon atoms at the double bond are linked to a different number of hydrogen atoms, the halogen is found preferentially at the carbon with less hydrogen substituents (Markovnikov's rule). Would this not be the second carbon of the butene? Please advise.
