Correct answer: B. Benzotrichloride

  • A. Benzyl chloride
  • B. Benzotrichloride
  • C. Benzoyl chloride
  • D. Benzal chloride

Explanation

When toluene reacts with chlorine in the presence of sunlight, the ultimate product formed is Benzotrichloride. This occurs through a series of substitution reactions involving the alkyl group. Benzyl chloride, Benzoyl chloride, and Benzal chloride are not the final products of this reaction; therefore, they are incorrect options.
