Solution

The correct option is C CH3−CH2−CH2−CH3|C|Cl−CH2−CH3

Halogenation usually occurs at the tertiary position of the alkanes.

The halogenation agents employed are CCl4, dichlorine monoxide, PCl5, phosgene, hypochlorite etc. in all these cases a chain initiating catalyst is required usually peroxides or UV light.

Regioselectivity of electrophillic halogenation usually takes place at the tertiary carbon atom, because tertiary carbon radical is more stable.

Option A is correct.
