Solution

The correct option is B CH3CH2Br+NaIAcetone−−−−CH3CH2I+NaBr
Finkelstein reaction is halogen exchange reaction in which more reactive alkanes replaces less reactive halogens(lower) in alkyl halides following SN2 pathway in acetone solvent.

CH3CH2Br+NaIAcetone−−−−CH3CH2I+NaBr
Hence, (b) is correct.
