C
Explanation:
Students must compare ways of breaking bonds. They must recall that homolytic fissions form free radicals (species with unpaired electrons) as shared electrons split once the bond breaks.
In contrast, heterolytic fissions produce positively and negatively charged particles (ions) as both shared electrons go to just one of the atoms in the bond.
This question is categorized as hard. Students must recall the ways of breaking bonds, distinguish homolytic and heterolytic fission, and understand that free radicals have unpaired electrons.
