Solution

The correct option is B
From the data given, it is found that the reaction is first order w.r.t. RX and first order w.r.t. Nu. So overall order of reaction is 2 i.e. reaction follows SN2 mechanism. Since SN2 reactions proceed through a single transition state and are exothermic. Hence, the correct option is (b).
