The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding Chemical Applications - Chloroform (\( CHCl_3 \)) is used in the production of Freon-12 (\( CCl_2F_2 \)), a refrigerant. - Carbon tetrachloride (\( CCl_4 \)) is not used in Freon-22 production (incorrect). - Dichloromethane (\( CH_2Cl_2 \)) is not used as a propellant (incorrect). - DDT is an insecticide, but not the first chlorinated herbicide (incorrect). Conclusion Thus, the correct answer is: \[ CHCl_3 \text{ - used in production of Freon-12} \]
