Which of the following compounds gives SN^(1), SN^(2) and SN^(2) mechanisms?

Explain the factors affecting SN_(1) and SN_(2) mechanism.

SN2 Mechanism

The rate of SN^2 reaction depends on the effectiveness of the nucleophile in ejecting the leaving group. Nucleophilicity is the affinity for C atom, while basicity is the affinity for proton. In both cases, a new bond is formed. If a new bond is formed between the anion and proton, the specied acts as a base. If a new bond is formed between the anion and C atom, the species acts as nucleophile. Which of the following compounds gives SN^1, SN^2 , and SN^2 mechanisms ?
