Given the Following Substitution Reaction, What Would the Effect Be $\to$

Given the following substitution reaction, what would the effect be of changing the solvent from CH₃OH to (CH₃) ₂S=O? CH₃(CH₂) ₅Br + NaOH $\to$ CH₃(CH₂) ₅OH + Br^-

A) The rate would decrease because S_N1 reactions are favored by polar protic solvents.
B) The rate would increase because S_N2 reactions are favored by polar aprotic solvents.
C) The rate would increase because S_N1 reactions are favored by polar protic solvents.
D) The rate would decrease because S_N2 reactions are favored by polar aprotic solvents.
