tertiary halogenoalkanes are the ones that only proceed through Sn1 mechanism and Dz the only option which consists of a tertiary halogenoalkane
A and B both are primary ones while C is a secondary one
Just in case if you are unsure about what a tertiary one is :In a tertiary halogenoalkane, the carbon atom holding the halogen is attached directly to three alkyl groups which in this case is (Ch3)3CI
ok got it. i thought SN1 mechanism worked for both secondary and tertiary halogenoalkanes. thats why i couldnt understand how both C and D could be right.
