Explanation:
Methane is an alkane. The commonest chemical reaction that alkanes undergo is substitution. During a substitution reaction, one or more atoms of hydrogen is/are replaced in the alkane.
In methane, in the presence of sunlight and molecular chlorine gas, a homolytic fission of Cl2 occurs to yield chlorine radicals in an initiation step.
The propagation steps involve reaction of the methane with chlorine radicals. Certain intermediates continue to be formed along the way until the tetrachlorination product is finally obtained.

Answer:
Explanation:
k stand for equilibrium constants in terms of reaction
The higher the value of an equilibrium constant the faster the equilibrium reaction comes to completion.
Consider the example below:
⇄
where
For a faster reaction the numerator i.e. the right hand side of the equation have to be higher than the left hand side (the denominator). therefore the higher the numerator, the higher the value of the equilibrium constant and the faster the reaction get to completion thus option c is correct.
