Solution
Chlorobenzene is prepared by reacting benzene with chlorine (Cl2) in the presence of a catalyst like Fe or FeCl3, in the dark at room temperature.
This is an electrophilic substitution reaction where a hydrogen atom on benzene is replaced by chlorine, forming chlorobenzene and releasing HCl.
