Solution

The correct option is B Nucleophilic Substitution bimolecular
In SN2 reaction:
(1) Nucleophile back-side attacks the δ+ carbon center.
(2) Pentavalent unstable transition state forms in which nucleophile is forming bond with carbon while leaving group is breaking its bond simultaneously. This is known as concerted reaction mechanism.
(3) The leaving group leaves, forming the final product.
Example :


SN1 reaction proceed in two step amd it doesnot following concerted mechanism.
Step 1: formation of carbocation by loss of leaving group.
Step 2 : attack of nucleophile to form the product.
