Solution

The correct option is D 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 reactions follow different mechanism.

C6H5OCH3SN2−−HI(g)CH3I+C6H5OH

C6H5OCH3SN1−−−−−HI(conc.)CH3I+C6H5OH

Remember that during SN1 reaction, CH+3 is formed because it is more stable than C6H+5.

Option C is correct.
