Alcohols Phenols and Ethers
A
$I^-$ ion prefers to combine with the smaller group in order to minimise steric hindrance
B
$I^-$ ion is not reactive towards benzene
C
phenol is formed as a result of hydrolysis of iodobenzene
D
methyl alcohol formed during reaction reacts with $I^-$ to form methyl iodide
Solution:
Correct answer is (a) $I^-$ ion prefers to combine with the smaller group in order to minimise steric hindrance
