The answer is -substitution

Benzene reacts with Cl₂ by substitution reaction. Benzene reacts with chlorine or halogens in presence of lewis acid for example AlCl₃ to undergo a substitution reaction that forms halobenzene. In this casem benzene will react with chlorine in presence of lewis acid like AlCl₃ and undergoes substitution to form chlorobenzene.
