Halogen compounds — practice question

On heating with $\text{KOH}$ dissolved in ethanol, halogenoalkanes may undergo elimination, producing alkenes. What elimination products are possible if $2$-bromobutane is heated with $\text{KOH}$ dissolved in ethanol?

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