Which year's Independent trial examination are you referring to?
lol fobby engrish
An addition reaction, in organic chemistry, is in its simplest terms an organic reaction where two or more molecules combine to form a larger one
e.g. Ethene + Bromine > 1,2 dibromoethane
In a substitution reaction, a functional group in a particular chemical compound is replaced by another group
e.g. i am not sure, someone help me out - common example please

CH3CHBrCHBrCH3
which of the following hydrocarbons was reacted with bromnie to produce this product?

Q1 of MC. 2008 Independent Trial.
The answer is definitely (c), although i understand where you get the idea it could be (b). Since the instructions state to "Select the alternative A, B C or D that bet answers the question", (c) is the best answer. Choosing (b) implies a substitution reaction occurs, so H2(g) would also be a product - however this is not mentioned in the question. Further, addition reactions happen more spontaneously than substitution reactions, reaffirming (c) as the best option.
