An SN2 reaction, also known as a nucleophilic substitution, is the reaction in question. The entering nucleophile causes the groups surrounding the carbon atom to migrate in the opposite direction of the nucleophile, causing the configuration of alkyl halides to invert. As a result, (b) and (d) will be in the opposite order. This reaction is also SN2 since there is just one phase in which OH- is added and Cl- is removed at the same time. (i) and (ii) are the right answers.
Correct Answer: Option (A) and (B)
