Solution
The correct option is D At room temperture, alkyl halide which form more stable carbocation intermediate will give stable and more efficient product.
Formation of 3∘ carbocation as intermediate during reaction does not require any heating, it occurs at room temperature due to its stable intermediate.
Hence, option D is correct.
