Reaction of CH3Cl and Cl2 in presence of light as given in the question is an example of free-radical substitution reaction of alkyl halides with halogen.Reaction involves substitution of an halogen in place of hydrogen and removal of molecule of HCl step by step.
The answer given is C and not D.This can be understand as follows-
In one of the propogation step CH2Cl• is generated-
CH3Cl•+ Cl•---------> CH2Cl•+ HCl
Now in termination step it is possible that CH2ClCH2Cl is formed in traces in the following manner-
2CH2Cl•---------> CH2ClCH2Cl
