E) BrCH2CH2CH2CH2Br

Explanation:

The reaction of ethane with bromine in presence of UV light forms mono substituted ethane at all primary and secondary carbons.

This is an example of free radical substitution.

The structure of ethane and its bromination is shown below:

Among the given options that which is not possible to form is option B) that is CH3CH2CH2Br(propyl bromide).
