The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Understanding Inductive Effect**: The inductive effect refers to the permanent polarization of a bond due to the electronegativity difference between atoms. It involves the shifting of sigma electrons in a molecule when a more electronegative atom is present. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: Displacement of sigma electrons resulting in polarization. - **Option B**: Polarized displacement of pi electrons resulting in polarization. - **Option C**: Delocalization of sigma electrons. - **Option D**: Delocalization of pi electrons. 3. **Evaluating Option A**: This option correctly describes the inductive effect. When a more electronegative atom (like chlorine) is bonded to a carbon atom, it pulls the sigma electrons towards itself, creating a dipole moment. This results in a partial positive charge on the carbon atom and a partial negative charge on the chlorine atom. 4. **Evaluating Option B**: This option refers to pi electrons, which are involved in resonance effects, not the inductive effect. The inductive effect specifically deals with sigma bonds. 5. **Evaluating Option C**: This option mentions delocalization of sigma electrons, which is not characteristic of the inductive effect. The inductive effect is about the displacement of sigma electrons, not their delocalization. 6. **Evaluating Option D**: Similar to option B, this option refers to pi electrons and their delocalization, which is related to resonance, not the inductive effect. 7. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option A**: Displacement of sigma electrons resulting in polarization.
