−>[(HI(excess)][Δ] { ->[{(HI (excess)}][{\Delta}] }

A

B

C

D

Answer

Explanation

Solution

Ethers are readily cleaved by action of HI to form alcohol and alkyl halide. R−O−R+HX−>RX+R−OH { R - O - R + HX -> RX + R - OH} If excess of halogen acid is used, then alcohol formed reacts further with halogen acid to produce alkyl halide.
