Correct answer: C

  1. Principle for SN1S_N1SN​1 reaction

    An SN1S_N1SN​1 reaction proceeds through formation of a carbocation in the rate-determining step. So, a halide will show SN1S_N1SN​1 only if loss of halide ion can generate a reasonably stable carbocation.

  2. Examine option (A)

    H2C=CH−CH2Cl\mathrm{H_2C=CH-CH_2Cl}H2​C=CH−CH2​Cl

    This is allyl chloride. On ionization, it forms an allylic carbocation:

    H2C=CH−CH2+↔+CH2−CH=CH2\mathrm{H_2C=CH-CH_2^+} \leftrightarrow \mathrm{^+CH_2-CH=CH_2}H2​C=CH−CH2+​↔+CH2​−CH=CH2​

    This carbocation is resonance stabilized, so (A) can undergo SN1S_N1SN​1.

  3. Examine option (B)

    CH3−CH=CH−Cl\mathrm{CH_3-CH=CH-Cl}CH3​−CH=CH−Cl

    Here chlorine is attached directly to a double-bonded carbon; this is a vinylic halide.

    If Cl−Cl^-Cl− leaves, the carbocation formed would be a vinyl carbocation, which is highly unstable:

    CH3−CH=CH+\mathrm{CH_3-CH=CH^+}CH3​−CH=CH+

    Therefore, vinylic halides do not undergo SN1S_N1SN​1 reaction.

  4. Conclusion from given answer choices

    Since (A) shows SN1S_N1SN​1 and (B) does not, the only option consistent with this is:

    (B) only\boxed{\text{(B) only}}(B) only​

    which corresponds to Option C.

  5. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer = C

    Derived answer = C

    Hence, they agree.
