Solution
The correct option is C will remain constant In alkaline hydrolysis of tertiary halide by aqueous alkali, if concentration of alkali is doubled, then the reaction will remain constant because t-alkyl halides with aqueous alkali give SN1 reaction and the rate of SN1 reaction is not based upon the concentration of nucleophile (i.e., alkali).
