Best answer

The correct option is: (d)

Explanation:

In case of alkyl aryl ethers, the products are always phenol and alkyl halide and never an aryl halide and alcohol. This is due to the fact that O - C6H5 bond has partial double bond and is stronger than O - R bond. Therefore, halide ion exclusively breaks the O-R bond forming alkyl halide and phenol.
