The correct answer is (d).
DDT slowly changes to p, p'-Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene.
DDT stands for Dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane. It is an organochlorine compound and is an insecticide but it is known for its harmful impacts on the environment.
DDT is synthesized artificially by the reaction between two compounds- choral and chlorobenzene in the presence of an acid catalyst, by a process known as Friedel–Crafts hydroxyalkylation.
