  • Correct answer
    D
    Figure

Solution

Figure
$\mathrm{Cl}$ has $-I$ and $+R$-effect. Due to electron donating resonance effect it is ortho/para-directing and donates the electron density to benzene ring. Thus, the incoming electrophile $-\mathrm{Br}$ gets attached on para-position and para disubstituted product is obtained as major product and ortho as minor product.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
