Solution

The correct option is C addition reaction
Alkenes react in the cold with pure liquid bromine in an organic solvent like tetrachloromethane. The double bond breaks and the bromine atom becomes attached to each carbon. The bromine loses its original colour to give colourless liquid of 1,2-dibromoethane. hrere bromine atoms are added across double bond, thus it is addition reaction.
