Step-by-step solution

The first step involves the reaction of aniline with NaNO₂ and HCl , which is a diazotization reaction. This produces benzene diazonium chloride ( C₆H₅N₂^+Cl^- ). In the second step, benzene diazonium chloride is treated with CuBr . This is the Sandmeyer reaction, where the diazonium group is replaced by a bromine atom, with the release of nitrogen gas. The final major product is bromobenzene ( C₆H₅Br ). Answer:
