Solution

The correct option is B Allyl chloride
When chlorine gas is reacted with propene at high temperature ( $400^{\circ} C$ ), then substitution takes place in place of addition reaction. Hence, allyl chloride is formed.

$C H_{3} C H = C H_{2} C l 400^{\circ} C - -- \to C l C H_{2} C H = C H_{2} + H C l$ .
