A) I 
B) II 
C) III 
D) IV 
E) V

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given reaction involves the substitution of chlorine with iodine. In option I, there is no substitution as chlorine is not present in the reactant. Option III and V have substituents at the ortho and para-positions, which hinder substitution. Option IV has a bulky tert-butyl group that reduces reactivity towards substitution. Hence, the only viable option for substitution is Option II, which has a meta-chlorine group, allowing for the substitution to occur. Therefore, the product formed will be II.
