Solution

The correct option is C substitution
The given reaction does not occur because on addition the ring lost its
aromaticity and on deprotonation of -complex it retains the aromaticity hence substitution reaction takes place. Thus substitution reaction is favored over addition reaction due to extra stabilization of aromatic reaction.
