Solution

The correct option is B Swarts reaction.
The best reaction to produce alkyl fluorides is Swarts reaction. This is done by heating an alkyl bromide in the presence of a metallic fluoride such as $A g F, C o F_{2}, H g_{2} F_{2}, S b F_{3}$ . This is Swarts reaction.

$H_{3} C - B r + A g F \to H_{3} C - F + A g B r$
