Solution

The correct option is C
Steps involved in $S_{N} 1$ reaction:
1. Formation of carbocation - This is a slow step as it is a rate determining step (RDS).
2. Attack of nucleophile - This is a fast step.
Therefore, step (2) and (3) represent the correct $S_{N} 1$ mechanism for the cleavage of ether.
