  1. A \((a),(b),(d)\)
  2. B \((a),(b),(c)\)
  3. C \((a),(c),(d)\)
  4. D \((b),(c),(d)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((a),(b),(c)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

This reaction is an example of \(\beta\) \(-\)elimination. Hydrogen is removed from \(\beta\) \(-\)carbon and halgoen from \(\alpha\) \(-\)carbon, hence, dehydrohalgoenation reaction. Generally in \(E2\) reaction Zaitsev alkene is formed
