I think A is toluene with a bromine substituted on the CH3 group. If that's what alpha bromo toluene is, then I agree with you. B should be A with the Br replaced by Li. For C and D look up "lithium organocuprates" in your organic chemistry textbook.

Once you've worked on that, post back here again and let me know where you're at.
