Both B and C are correct. This is an addition reaction in which a bromine atom is added on each side of the double bonds resulting in all bonds being single. Obviously, CH2=CH2 is an alkene. It has the general formula CnH2n.

B) it somewhat is an addition reaction as you're including to the double bond and c) CH2=CH2 is unquestionably an alkene ( a is fake by using fact carbon won't be able to have 5 bonds and d the product would be an alkane..all unmarried bonds)

b and c are true
a. Is false because the bromine is added when the double bond is broken
d. Is false for the same reason
