Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((P)\) : Benzene hexachloride
\((Q)\) : Hexachlorobenzene
\((R)\): Cyclohexanol

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The ring delocalisation is permanently broken and a chlorine atom adds on to each carbon atom and forms benzene hexachloride. So, \((P)=\) Benzene hexachloride \((Q)=\) Hexachlorobenzene \((R)=\) Cyclohexanol.
