1-chlorobutane

2-chlorobutane

2-chloro-2-methylpropane

a.

1-chlorobutane

b.

2-chlorobutane

c.

2-chloro-2-methylpropane

Explanation / Answer

a.1-chlorobutane

becaue for SN2 reaction to happen less steric hinderance is needed and other options has high steric hinderance so a is correct answer
