Solution

Answer: b
Explanation: When ether reacts with the reactant nucleophilic substitution conjugate base reaction (i.e. SNCB) will take place and there will be retention of configuration and it will be R product. When C5H5NH reacts with reactant SN2 reaction will take place and configuration inversion will take place and it will be S product.
