Solution

The correct option is A $C_{6} H_{6} + C_{2} H_{5} C l A l C l_{3} ⟶ C_{6} H_{5} C_{2} H_{5} + H C l$
The Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction is a method of generating alkylbenzenes by using alkyl halides as reactants in presence of . $A l C l_{3}$
This is done through an electrophilic attack on the aromatic ring with the help of a carbocation.
The Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of benzene is illustrated below.
$C_{6} H_{6} + C_{2} H_{5} C l A l C l_{3} ⟶ C_{6} H_{5} - C_{2} H_{5} + H C l |$
Hence correct option is a.
