Solution

The correct option is A 2, 2-Dimethyipropane
Free radical chlorination of alkanes gives a complex mixture of isomeric mono- polyhaloalkanes which is difficult to separate as pure compounds. So the yield of any one compound is low. Therefore 2, 2 Dimethyipropane is the compound that can yeild only one monochlorinated product upon free radical chlorination.
