Question

Given below are two statements : Statement I : CH3–O–CH2–Cl will undergo SN1 reaction through it is a primary halide. Statement II : CH3–C–CH2–Cl CH3 CH3 primary halide will not undergo SN2 reaction very easily through it is a primary halide. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

(A) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
(B) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
(C) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
(D) Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
