Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction to the reagents used

Cl2 in presence of heat or light is used for chlorination reaction of alkanes. This reaction proceeds via formation of free radical intermediate and follows chain reaction kinetics. The stability of the generated radical intermediate determines the major product.

NBS (N-Bromo Succinimide) which generates bromine radical in presence of light often used in allylic bromination reactions.
