The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

In this reaction, aniline (\( C_6H_5NH_2 \)) undergoes diazotization with sodium nitrite (\( \text{NaNO}_2 \)) and hydrochloric acid at \( 0^\circ \text{C} \). The resulting diazonium salt reacts with copper chloride (\( \text{CuCl}_2 \)) to form chlorobenzene (\( C_6H_5Cl \)).

Thus, the product \( A \) is chlorobenzene, \( C_6H_5Cl \).

The Correct Answer is: \( C_6H_5Cl \)
