The reaction involves the reaction of 1-bromopropane with potassium iodide in acetone solvent. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction where the iodine ion from potassium iodide attacks the carbon atom of the alkyl bromide to substitute the bromine atom. In this case, the iodine ion substitutes the bromine at the primary carbon to form the major product, which is 1-iodopropane (III). Therefore, the correct answer is C.
