DDT is prepared by heating chlorobenzene with

Atrichloroethanal (chloral) in the presence of concentrated $H X_{2} SO X_{4}$
Bethanal and aqueous NaOH
Cmethanal and hydrochloric acid
Dcarbon tetrachloride and anhydrous $AlCl X_{3}$

Answer: A

Two molecules of chlorobenzene condense with one molecule of chloral,

CCl X_{3} CHO

, with conc.
