Correct Answer
B Cyclopentane
C 1,2-Dimethylcyclobutane
D Cyclohexane
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

1,2-Dimethylcyclopropane is a cyclopropane derivative that can undergo ring-opening reactions with bromine due to ring strain. Cyclopentane, cyclobutane, and cyclohexane are less strained and do not react readily with bromine in CCl4.
