Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When the substrate is an ethyl `t-`alkyl ether, the products are `t-RI` and `EtOH`. This can be esplained by an `S_(N)1` mechanism, the carbocation produced being the tertiary carbocation since this type is more stable than a primary or secondary carbocation.
