It is an addition reaction that breaks the double bond between the two carbon atoms. The product will contain all single bonds.

All of them except A is true.
CH2+CH2 + Br2 ---> CH2Br-CH2Br
which is an addition reaction that will give you single bond product.

b), c), and d) are true
the halogenation of the alkene CH2=CH2 is an addition reaction and produces an alkane BrCH2-CH2Br with only single bonds

Both b, c, and d are true, it is a bromination problem, where the product is going to be CH2Br-CH2BR (no double bonds, and the bond is between the carbons not Br and C)
