The correct option is C

Both A and B as well as both C and D are CH3I and C6H5OH


Although in both cases products are CH3I and C6H5OH ;the two reaction follow different mechanism.
C6H5OCH3Hl(g)−−SN2CH3I+C6H5OHC6H5OCH3conc.Hl−−−SN1CH3I+C6H5OH
Remember that during SN1 reaction, CH+3 is formed because it is more stable than C6H+5.
