Solution

The correct option is A Cl2,FeCl3, heat
Due to delocalisation of π electrons, benzene doesn't undergo addition reaction. (Since benzene is aromatic)

So, it will not perform B,C and D reactions as they are addition reactions.

But with Cl2/FeCl3 is electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction and in this reaction, chlorobenzene is formed as a product.

Option A is correct.
