Solution

The correct option is D
This elimination is also known as $β$ elimination

For E₂, we need carbon-hydrogen and the carbon-bromine bonds to be anti-periplanar.
They should be coplanar but the $C - B r$ and $C - H$ bonds should be on opposite sides.

After rotation, the antiperiplanar structure is in place for E₁:

For the other enantiomer from the racemic mixture, E₂ looks like:
