Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{Cl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Aryl halides being less reactive do not under goes Friedel-craft reaction with benzene. \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_6+\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{Cl} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{AlCl}_3}\) No reaction
