Solution

The correct option is D CH3Cl+CH2=CH2CH4+CH2=CHCl
An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy through light or heat. The enthalpy change for such reactions is usually negative.

CH3Cl+CH2=CH2CH4+CH2=CHCl

This reaction is not an exothermic reaction as it involves reaction of an alkene to chloromethyl which leads to formation of methane.

Because vinyl radical is unstable (CH2=CH)

No energy is released during this reaction.

Option D is correct.
