Solution

The correct option is B nucleophilic substitution reactions
Acyl chlorides undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions as acyl carbon is electophilic in nature and chloride ion is a good leaving group.
$R C O C l + H N u \to R C O N u + H C l$ .
In the above reaction, Nu represents nucleophile.
