  • A
    Pyrolysis
  • B
    Substitution
  • C
    Cracking
  • Homolysis

Answer

Correct option: D.
Homolysis
d
(d) Photochemical chlorination of alkane take place by free radical mechanism which are possible by Homolysis of $C -C$ bond

$C{l_2}    \xrightarrow{hv}   C{l^ \bullet } + C{l^ \bullet }$

$C{H_3} - C{H_3} + C{l^ \bullet } \to C{H_3}C{l^ \bullet } + \dot C{H_3}$
