In a nucleophilic substitution reaction,the order of halogens as incoming (attacking) nucleophiles is: $I^{-} > Br^{-} > Cl^{-}$. The order of halogens as departing (leaving) nucleophiles should be:

  • A
    $Br^{-} > I^{-} > Cl^{-}$
  • B
    $I^{-} > Br^{-} > Cl^{-}$
  • C
    $Cl^{-} > Br^{-} > I^{-}$
  • D
    $Cl^{-} > I^{-} > Br^{-}$
