(a) CH₃CHBr₂
Explanation:
Gem dihalides have 2 halogen atoms attached to the same carbon atom. CH₃CHBr₂ has two Bromine (halogen) atoms attached to the same C atom. The other compounds have two halide atoms but attached to different carbon atoms. Hence CH₃CHBr₂ is a gem - dihalide.
Option A is the answer.
