Solution
The correct option is A friedel-Crafts alkylation, carbocation CH3CH2CH2−BrFeBr3⟶CH3−CH2CH2−δ+Br−δ−FeBr3⟶CH3CH2+CH2+Fe⊝Br4 FeBr3 is a lewis acid, react with bromopropane to form propanium cation which react with electron rich Benzene ring. The intermediate formed is carbocation which is stabilized by resonance.
