Is structure A correct? (Chemical Bonding, Class 11th)

My friend made this structure in coaching a few days ago, my chemistry teacher saw this and said that this isn't correct because carbon is the central atom and thats why he was unable to plot 24 valence electrons. But somehow, i have managed to fit 24 electrons. is this correct? How?

ohh okay buddy, its alright. Arey chlorine ke valence shell mein 7 electrons hain but valency 1 hai. sir se pucho ki chlorine ki bonding samjhayen and chlorine max kitne bond bana skta...ask him this. he will clear your doubts

yes bro. carbon ka example len agar toh carbon can make only four bonds due to its tetravalency toh same aisa chlorine ke saath bhi hai yess...class mein doubts puchoge toh thinking mein progression ayega
