Solution

The correct option is B II , IV
II & IV are achiral molecules & their structures do not permit rearrangement. Hence, they give same product in SN1 & SN2 reactions. However, I & III are chiral molecules & hence, give enantiomerically pure products in SN2 reactions and racemic mixtures in SN1.
