Correct answer: D

  1. In such haloalkane transformation questions, the two most common possibilities for reagent XXX are:

    • dilute aqueous NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}NaOH at low temperature ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ nucleophilic substitution, forming an alcohol.
    • concentrated alcoholic NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}NaOH at higher temperature ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ β\betaβ-elimination, forming an alkene.
  2. For reagent YYY:

    • HBr\mathrm{HBr}HBr/acetic acid adds across a double bond to give a bromoalkane.
    • Br2/CHCl3\mathrm{Br_2}/\mathrm{CHCl_3}Br2​/CHCl3​ also adds across a double bond, but gives a dibromo product.
  3. Since the options are arranged in pairs, the intended transformation is clearly of the type: haloalkane→Xalkene→Ybromoalkane\text{haloalkane} \xrightarrow[X]{} \text{alkene} \xrightarrow[Y]{} \text{bromoalkane}haloalkaneX​alkeneY​bromoalkane This means:

    • First step must be elimination ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ use conc. alcoholic NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}NaOH, 80∘C80^\circ\mathrm{C}80∘C.
    • Second step must convert the alkene back to a monobromo alkane, which is done by HBr\mathrm{HBr}HBr/acetic acid, not by Br2/CHCl3\mathrm{Br_2}/\mathrm{CHCl_3}Br2​/CHCl3​.
  4. Therefore: X=conc. alc. NaOH, 80∘CX=\text{conc. alc. }\mathrm{NaOH},\ 80^\circ\mathrm{C}X=conc. alc. NaOH, 80∘C Y=HBr/acetic acidY=\mathrm{HBr}/\text{acetic acid}Y=HBr/acetic acid

  5. Checking options:

    • A: substitution first, then HBr\mathrm{HBr}HBr addition — not consistent.
    • B: elimination first, but Br2\mathrm{Br_2}Br2​ would form dibromide — incorrect.
    • C: substitution first and then Br2\mathrm{Br_2}Br2​ — incorrect.
    • D: elimination first, then HBr\mathrm{HBr}HBr addition — correct.

Hence, the correct option is D.
