Chemical bonding — practice question

Compound $P$ undergoes separate reactions with $\text{KOH(aq)}$ and with $\text{HBr}$. Compound $P$ has the formula $\text{CH}_2\text{CHCH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{Cl}$. What are the mechanisms of these two reactions?

  • AKOH(aq): nucleophilic addition; HBr: electrophilic addition
  • BKOH(aq): nucleophilic addition; HBr: free radical substitution
  • CKOH(aq): nucleophilic substitution; HBr: electrophilic addition
  • DKOH(aq): nucleophilic substitution; HBr: free radical substitution
