Which statement is correct about the above reaction?

AProduct (B) is (I) by $$SN^1$$ mechanism
BProduct (B) is (II) by $$SN^2$$ mechanism
CProduct (B) is (I) by $$SN^2$$ mechanism
DProduct (B) is (II) by $$SN^1$$ mechanism
Correct Answer

Solution

$$Ag^+$$ catalyses $$SN^1$$ reaction, so rearrangement occurs.

hence (D) is correct.
