Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Halogens are detected by Beilstein’s test.
In this test, a copper wire is dipped in original solution and heated in a bunsen burner flame.
Green colour is imparted to the flame, due to the formation of a volatile copper halide.
This proves the presence of halogen.
