Question

For the reaction RCH2Br + I– Acetone RCH2I + Br– major The correct statement is

(A) The solvent used in the reaction solvates the ions formed in rate determining step.
(B) Br– can act as competing nucleophile.
(C) The transition state formed in the above reaction is less polar than the localised anion.
(D) The reaction can occur in acetic acid also.

This is a SN2 reaction complete by transition state which requires strong nucleophile in nonpolar/polar aprotic solvent.
