Solution

The correct option is B
The Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction is a method of generating alkylbenzenes by using alkyl halides as reactants in presence of anhydrousAlCl3.
This is done through an electrophilic attack on the aromatic ring with the help of a carbocation. The secondary carbocation formed will rearrange to a tertiary carbocation.


Hence, the correct option is b.
