  2. B
    A is 2-bromobutane, B is but-1-ene.
  3. C
    A is 1-bromobutane, B is but-2-ene.
  4. D
    A is 2-bromobutane, B is but-2-ene.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. converts secondary alcohols to alkyl bromides. (2-bromobutane). (Product A).2. Alcoholic KOH causes dehydrohalogenation (Elimination). According to Saytzeff's rule, the more substituted alkene is the major product. (But-2-ene). (Product B).
