<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For two species to react, the collision between the atoms must be effective.

The chemical equation for the reaction illustrated in the image follows:

CH_2CH_2+HCl\rightarrow CH_3CH_2Cl

Chlorine and hydrogen atoms are getting attached to the reactant, therefore they are participating in the reaction.

There are 2 factors on which the effective collisions depends:

  1. Energy factor: This factor states that the colliding molecules must have energy greater than the threshold energy.
  2. Orientation factor: This factor states that the colliding molecules must have a proper orientation at the time of collision.

In the image illustrated, the orientation of the reactant is not proper for the collision. Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
