C. Free radical substitution

Explanation:

CF#color(white)( )_3#CH#color(white)( )_2#Cl reacts with bromine at 450#color(white)( )^@#C to produce halothane.

Free radical substitution is a reaction when an atom is a molecule is replaced by another atom or group of atoms, usually involving the breakage of a carbon-hydrogen bond to form a new bond.

In the above equation,

CF#color(white)( )_3#CH#color(white)( )_2#Cl#+#Br#color(white)( )_2rarr#CF#color(white)( )_3#CHBrCl#+#HBr
