    A) Nucleophilic substitution reaction

    B) Elimination reaction

    C) Both nucleophilic substitution and elimination reaction

    D) Rearrangement

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Dehydrohalogenation of an alkyl halide on presence of alcoholic potash is an example of elimination reaction. \[R-C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}-Cl+\underset{\text{alc}\text{.}}{\mathop{KOH}}\,\xrightarrow{\Delta }\]\[RCH=C{{H}_{2}}+KCl+{{H}_{2}}O\]
