Organic Compounds Containing Halogens Question 112

Question: Which of the following is the example of $ SN^{2} $ reaction

[CPMT 1999]

Options:

A) $ CH_3Br+O{H^{-}}-CH_3OH+B{r^{-}} $

B) $ \underset{\underset{BrOH}{\mathop{||}}}{\mathop{CH_3CHCH_3+O{H^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}CH_3CHCH_3+B{r^{-}}}} $

C) $ CH_3CH_2OH\xrightarrow{-H_2O}CH_2=CH_2 $

D) $ \underset{\underset{BrH}{\mathop{||}}}{\mathop{\overset{\overset{CH_3CH_3}{\mathop{||}}}{\mathop{CH_3-C-CH_3+O{H^{-}}\to CH_3-C-O-CH_3+B{r^{-}}}}}} $
