Correct answer: C

  1. Identify the type of reaction implied

    The options given are different brominating conditions. Such questions in haloalkanes/haloarenes commonly ask which reagents allow addition of bromine to an alkene/unsaturated system versus electrophilic substitution on an aromatic ring.

    The set of reagents suggests that the given reaction is one that can occur with molecular bromine under non-aqueous conditions and also under Lewis-acid catalysis.

  2. Examine each reagent

    (a) Bromine water

    Bromine water is used mainly for:

    • testing unsaturation,
    • reaction with strongly activated aromatic rings like phenol/aniline,
    • hydroxybromination in some cases because water is present.

    It is not the usual condition for the bromination reaction implied here if the required product is obtained specifically by bromine addition/substitution under anhydrous conditions. Hence, this is not suitable.

    So, (a) is not correct.

    (b) Br2Br_2Br2​ in CS2CS_2CS2​, 273 K

    CS2CS_2CS2​ is an inert nonpolar solvent. Bromination commonly occurs in such solvents for addition/substitution reactions without interference from water.

    So, (b) is correct.

    (c) Br2/FeBr3Br_2/FeBr_3Br2​/FeBr3​

    FeBr3FeBr_3FeBr3​ is a Lewis acid and generates the electrophile Br+Br^+Br+ from bromine, enabling bromination in aromatic systems.

    So, (c) is correct.

    (d) Br2Br_2Br2​ in CHCl3CHCl_3CHCl3​, 273 K

    CHCl3CHCl_3CHCl3​ is also an inert organic solvent commonly used for bromination reactions.

    So, (d) is correct.

  3. Collect the correct statements

    Correct reagents are: (b),(c),(d)(b),(c),(d)(b),(c),(d)

  4. Match with the given options

    • A: (b) and (d) only incorrect
    • B: (a) and (c) only incorrect
    • C: (b), (c) and (d) only correct
    • D: (a), (b) and (d) only incorrect

Therefore, the correct answer is C.
