Solution

The correct option is A a free radical substitution reaction
In organic chemistry, we encounter various types of substitution reactions. One of them is a free radical substitution reaction.

Example: Halogenation of methane

$C H_{4} + C l_{2} h ν - \to C H_{3} C l + H C l$

This reaction goes through a free radical intermediate.

Option A is correct.
