Solution

Ethene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains a set of double bonded carbon atoms. When the addition of bromine takes place across the double bond, it results in the formation of 1, 2-dibromoethane. Therefore, the formation of 1, 2-dibromoethane from ethene and bromine is an example of an addition reaction.

Thus, the correct option is (d).
