D)None

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The product of the nucleophilic substitution reaction shown involves the replacement of the leaving group (B) with the nucleophile (Nu). In the case of reaction I, the leaving group (iodide) is replaced with the nucleophile (methoxide) resulting in the formation of product A. In the case of reaction II, the leaving group (chloride) is replaced with the nucleophile (methoxide) resulting in the formation of product B. Therefore, the product of the reaction shown is only I, and the answer is (A) Only I.
