  • MeBr > Me₂CHBr > Me₃CBr (SN2)
  • Me₃CBr > Me₂CHBr > MeCH₂Br > MeCH₂CH₂Br (SN1)
  • PhCH₂Br > PhCHBrMe > PhCBrMe₂ > PhCBrMe₃ (SN1)
  • MeI > MeBr > MeCl > MeF (SN2)

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

In SN1 reactions, carbocation stability governs the order. Benzylic carbocations are highly stabilised, but tertiary benzylic carbocation is most stable. Hence the given order in option (C) is incorrect.
