Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction appears to be a substitution reaction, with a leaving group (LG) being replaced by a nucleophile. The likely nucleophile is the cyanide ion, which is often used in substitution reactions. The product of the reaction would be a cyanide-substituted compound. Among the options, only Option C shows a cyanide group (-CN) substituted for the leaving group (-Br), making it the most likely product of the reaction.
