● Answer -
(B) Cl• + Cl• → Cl2

● Explaination -
- Activation energy is defined as the least possible amount of energy which is required to start a reaction.
- As free radicals are more reactive than molecules, they react with each other rather spontaneously.
- Therefore, very less energy is required for Cl• radicals to react with each other to form Cl2 .
Cl• + Cl• → Cl2 , ∆Ea = Lowest
