Concept introduction:
Curved arrows are used to represent the movement of electrons in a reaction mechanism. The arrow starts on an electron-rich atom or an electron-rich region such as a pi bond. It ends on an electron poor atom when the movement results in the formation of a new sigma bond. If the result is the formation of a pi bond, the arrow ends in the region between the two atoms that form the bond.
A carbocation is a positively charged carbon atom that is electron-poor, two electrons short of an octet. It is unstable because it is a charged species.

The possible
Explanation of Solution
The structure of the given carbocation is
There are three hydrogen atoms on carbon atoms adjacent to the charge carrying carbon. They are on C2, C3, and C4.
Shifting of the hydride on C2 results in the charge shifting to C2, as shown in the product on the right.
Shifting of the hydride on C3 results in the charge shifting to C3, as shown in the product on the left.
Shifting of the hydride on C4 results in the charge shifting to C4, as shown in the product below the given carbocation.
Therefore, the
There is one methyl group attached to the carbon adjacent to C1. Shifting of the methyl group on C2 to C1 results in C1 becoming a tertiary carbon and the charge shifting to C2.
