    Directions: (Q. 6 to 10)
    Case II: Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.
    When haloalkanes with (\[\beta \]-hydrogen atom are boiled with alcoholic solution of KOH; they undergo elimination of hydrogen halide resulting in the formation of alkenes. These reactions are called (\[\beta \]-elimination reactions or dehydrohalogenation reactions. These reactions follow Saytzeff's rule. Substitution and therefore can engage in substitution or elimination reactions depending upon the alkyl halide and the reaction conditions.
    Among the following halides the most reactive towards alcoholic KOH is

    A) \[C{{H}_{2}}=CHBr\]

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\]

    D) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In alkyl halides, polarity of C - Br bond increases with increase in chain length.
