Solution

The correct options are
A Chemical reactions in which a pair of atoms or a group of atoms are removed from a molecule are called elimination reactions.

B Reactions in which the hydrogen atom of an alkane is substituted by an incoming group/ion are called substitution reactions.
D Cl+ClClCl
is a possible termination step of a chlorination reaction

Theory :
Chemical reactions in which a pair of atoms or a group of atoms are removed from a molecule are called elimination reactions.

Reactions in which the hydrogen atom of an alkane is substituted by an incoming group/ion are called substitution reactions.

Reactions in which the carbon skeleton of a molecule is rearranged to give a structural isomer of the original molecule are called rearrangement reactions. Often a substituent moves from one atom to another in the same molecule.

Chemical reactions in which an atom or a group of atoms is added to molecule are called addition reactions.

For a halogenation reaction :
In the initiation step , homolytic cleavage of halogen takes place forming a halogen free radical i.e. X
This is because XX bond is weaker as compared to CH bond.

Posssible termination steps of a chlorination reaction :
Cl+ClClCl
CH3+CH3CH3CH3
Cl+CH3CH3Cl
