Solution

The correct option is D p-bromochlorobenzene
Since, $C l^{-}$ group attached to benzene is ortho and para directing, so it forms $o -$ and $p -$ bromochlorobenzene products in electrophilic substitution reaction of chlorobenzene but the major product will be para product because ortho is disfavourd due to inductive effect and steric hindrance.
