In this problem it would be helpful if you knew the structure of limonene:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limonene

So, what type of reactions is Br2 involved in?  What type of functional groups does it react with?  What type of functional groups are present in limonene?

Bromine reacts with C-C double bonds (addition reaction).
