Halogen compounds — practice question

If halogenoalkanes are heated in ethanol containing KOH, they can undergo elimination to produce alkenes. Which elimination products may be formed if 2-bromobutane is heated with KOH dissolved in ethanol?

  • A$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}= ext{CHCH}_3$ only
  • B$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}= ext{CH}_2$ only
  • C$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}= ext{CHCH}_3$ and $\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}= ext{CH}_2$
  • D$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}= ext{CHCH}_3$ and $\text{CH}_2= ext{CHCH}= ext{CH}_2$
