Each listed option follows from the mechanism, reagent selectivity, or structural requirement shown in the image. Recovered question text: 1. Which of the following factors increase the rate of SN1 reaction? (a) Good leaving groups (more stable anions) lower the energy of the transition state leading to carbocation formation thus increasing the reaction rate. (b) A nonbasic nucleophile (like H2O) will prevent a competitive E2 reaction. (c) Polar solvents stabilise the carbocation intermediate b
