(d) RCO⊕
Explanation:
The Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction involves the addition of an acyl group to an aromatic ring. The halogen belonging to the acyl halide forms a complex with the Lewis acid, generating a highly electrophilic acylium ion, which has a general formula of RCO+ and is stabilized by resonance.
Option D is the correct answer.
