Solution
The correct option is B Q is formed due to nucleophillic substitution reaction
The major product of this reaction is 2−methyl propene beacuse soduim ethoxide is a strong nucleophile as well as a strong base. This elimination reaction predominates over substitution.
Here substitution occurs due to the primary substrate C2H5Cl.
