My school please the choosen answer is wrong,❗🤲
C2H4 being Ethene is not in a substitution reaction with the halogens but rather it is an addition reaction
CH2=CH2+Cl2-->CH2ClCH2Cl
which is 1,2-dichloroethane🔥🔥
Therefore C is legitimately correct🙌🙌🔥🤲

The answer should be Addition Reaction, since the That is an Alkene not Alkane. Thanks

The alkanes undergo substitutional reaction with halogens because of their saturated nature. So the answer should be A not C
