Solution

The correct option is D alkylation of benzene
The Friedel-Craft's reaction is of two type viz. alkylation and acylation. The reaction can be given as follow:
$C_{6} H_{6} + C H_{3} C l a n h y . A l C l_{3} - ------ \to C_{6} H_{5} C H_{3} + H C l$

Since hydrogen atom of benzene is replaced by an alkyl group. it is called alkylation reaction.
