a. 1,4-dichlorobenzene p-dichlorobenzene
b. phenyldichloride
c. p-dichlorobenzene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene
d. 1,4-dichlorobenzene and phenyldichloride

Option C. p-dichlorobenzene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene.

Explanation:

A line-angle formula with six vertices and a circle inscribed corresponds to the compound known as benzene.

Further, according to the IUPAC standards for naming benzene derivatives, you must first number the position of the substituent. In this case, the substituents (chloros) are located at the positions 1 and 4; also, for the benzene derivatives when they have 2 substituents and the positions are 1 and 4, this configuration is known as para or p configuration.

Additionally, this compound has 2 substituents (chloros) so you have to indicate this number (di).

Therefore, the correct answer is C. p-dichlorobenzene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene.

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.
