Solution

The correct option is C substitution reaction
The process of converting alkyl halides into alcohols can be represented as:
$R - X \to R - O H$
since $X^{-}$ is replaced by $O H^{-}$ group its is a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
Therefore the process of converting alkyl halides into alcohols involves substitution reaction.
