Chemistry Question on Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

SN2S_N2 mechanism is involved in the following substitution :

A

\ceCH3−CH2−Cl+OH−\ce{ CH_3 -CH_2 - Cl + OH^-}

B

C

D

Answer

\ceCH3−CH2−Cl+OH−\ce{ CH_3 -CH_2 - Cl + OH^-}

Explanation

Solution

SN2{S_N2} mechanism is followed in the case of primary and secondary alkyl halides, but primary is more reactive than secondary i.e. In comparision to p-halides reactivity of s-hlides towards SN2{S_N2} reaction is negligible.
