Solution

The correct option is B E2
Since, the rates of two reactions are different, the breaking of C-H and C-D bonds are involved in the slow step (or rate determining effect).

This indicates E2 mechanism in which the rate determining step involves cleavage of C-H (or C-D) and C-Br bond.

Option B is correct.
