Dear student
 
SOBr2 is correct answer.
Side products are gases.
In case of HBr elimination also favours to produce alkene

CH3-CH-​OH(l)​ + SOBr2(g)----py----> CH3-CH-Br(l) +SO2(gas)+ HBr(gas)

       CH3                                                 CH3
It is favoured because the by products obtained are in gaseous phase therefore escapes out leaving behind pure isopropyl bromide.
