• B. Nucleophilic addition and Electrophilic addition
• C. Nucleophilic substitution and Nucleophilic addition
• D. Electrophilic substitution and Nucleophilic substitution

Hint:

Swarts reaction involves substitution and Witting reaction involves addition.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Swarts reaction is a nucleophilic substitution reaction where an alkyl halide reacts with a metal halide, such as silver chloride, to form a new alkyl halide. The Witting reaction is a nucleophilic addition reaction, where a phosphorus ylide reacts with a carbonyl compound to form an alkene.
