(C) The reaction of toluene with chlorine in the presence of light $(h
u)$ is a classic example of side-chain chlorination.This reaction proceeds via a free radical mechanism.$1$. Initiation: $Cl_2 \xrightarrow{h
u} 2Cl^\bullet$$2$. Propagation: The chlorine radical abstracts a hydrogen atom from the methyl group of toluene to form a benzyl radical,which then reacts with $Cl_2$ to form benzyl chloride $(C_6H_5CH_2Cl)$.

$I. -OH$	$II. -CN$
$III. -CO_2H$	$IV. -OCH_3$
$V. -NHCOCH_3$	$VI. -CHO$

The reaction shown below proceeds through which mechanism?
