Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (B) Substitution in carbon compounds

For EXPLANATION: Substitution for hydrogen in carbon compounds. This is NUCLEAR alkylation when an aromatic hydrogen is substituted. The carbon of the alkyl is bound to carbon of either aliphatic or aromatic compounds. This is carbon-to-carbon alkylation and includes the alkylations hereto classified under the Friedel-Crafts REACTION.
