The Correct Option is A
Approach Solution - 1
$_{?}^{?} CCl_2$ is an electrophile, because its octet is not complete to required two more electron to complete its octet.
Out of $4$ valence electrons, $2$ are shared with $Cl$-atoms and $2$ are with $C$.
$_{?}^{?} CCl_2 {->}$ carbene present in two form singlet and triplet.

Approach Solution -2
CCl2 is an electrophile.
An electrophile is a chemical species that has an affinity for electrons. These species tend to react by accepting an electron pair that is generally from a nucleophile. They help in the electrophilic reactions and chemical bonds are formed. Some of the examples of electrophiles are: carbocation, electrophilic halogens, acids etc. In the case of :CCl2, the octet of the molecule is not complete and it requires two electrons in order to complete it.
