Consider the reactions:
$(i) \ (CH_3)_2CHCH_2Br \xrightarrow{C_2H_5OH} (CH_3)_2CHCH_2OC_2H_5 + HBr$
$(ii) \ (CH_3)_2CHCH_2Br \xrightarrow{C_2H_5O^-} (CH_3)_2CHCH_2OC_2H_5 + Br^-$
The mechanisms of reaction $(i)$ and $(ii)$ are respectively:

  • A
    $S_N1$ and $S_N1$
  • B
    $S_N1$ and $S_N2$
  • C
    $S_N2$ and $S_N1$
  • D
    $S_N2$ and $S_N2$
