Solution

The correct option is C
$C_{6} H_{5} - ∙ C H_{2}$

Since, free radicals are odd electron species, there will be one electron which will be unpaired or not bonded.

$\to$ Free radicals are a result of homolytic fission.

$\to$ These are represented by a $(∙)$ on the intermediate.

Therefore, $C_{6} H_{5} - ∙ C H_{2}$ is a radical.
