The organic chloro compound which shows complete stereochemical inversion during a reaction is:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In reactions, the nucleophile attacks the carbon atom from the side opposite to the leaving group, leading to inversion of configuration.The rate of reaction depends on steric hindrance. Methyl halides () are the least hindered and react most rapidly via the mechanism.Order of reactivity: .Thus, methyl chloride () shows the most efficient reaction and complete stereochemical inversion.
