Answer
A
Explanation
N S 2 reaction means nucleophilic substitution bi molecular reaction. This reaction takes place when the leaving group is attached to the primary carbon atom. Let us look at each option: Option A: - - 3 3 CH Br+OH CH OH+Br -> Here in this reaction, the Br is replaced by the OH group which means it is a substitution reaction and the attacking agent is the - OH group which is a nucleophile. This means that this is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. Now, the leaving group i.e. Br is attached to a primary carbon which means that this reaction will be nucleophilic substitution bi-molecular reac
