Organic exceptions Electrophilic addition on cyclopropane using sunlight

I encountered a weird question in an exam  . The statement says that instead of radical substitution, cyclopropane undergoes electrophilic addition reaction toin sunlight.

I have always knownknow that all saturated compounds give substitution reactions in sunlight but the answer key claims this statement to be truestates that electrophilic addition takes place.

I didntcouldn't find any source to prove this. Any help with an explanation and a verified source would be appreciated.
