Benzene can be converted to its derivative toluene by the addition of a methyl group. The reaction is an example of
Nucleophilic substitution
Elimination reaction
Electrophilic substitution
Addition reaction
Correct answer is C
The conversion of benzene to toluene involves an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. In this reaction, a methyl group (CH3) is added to the benzene ring, replacing one of the hydrogen atoms, and the reaction proceeds through electrophilic attack on the benzene ring.
