The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The reaction shown is a free radical halogenation reaction. This method is unsuitable for the preparation of fluoroarenes because of the high reactivity of fluorine. Fluorine is so reactive that it is difficult to control the reaction, leading to multiple substitutions. In this reaction, the free radical is formed by using the metal Fe in dark conditions. For the other halogens, the reaction can be controlled to obtain the corresponding haloarenes.

Top Questions on reaction mechanism
- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The dipole moment of R–CN is greater than R–NC and R–NC can undergo hydrolysis under acidic medium to produce R–COOH.
Statement II: R–CN hydrolyses under acidic medium to produce a compound which on treatment with SOCl$_2$, followed by the addition of NH$_3$ gives another compound (X). This compound (X) on treatment with NaOCl/NaOH gives a product, that on treatment with CHCl$_3$/KOH/$\Delta$ produces R–NC.
