As we learnt in 

Negatively charged Nucleophile - - wherein

OH^{-},CH_{3}^{-},NH_{2}^{-},R-O^{-}

 

 It is a S_{N}2 type reaction which requires less crowded substance. Among the given option C_{6}H_{5}-CH_{2}-Br is least crowded substrate.


Option 1)

 C6H5CHC6H5Br   
 

This option is incorrect

Option 2)

C6H5CH2Br   
 

This option is correct

Option 3)

 C6H5CH CH3Br   
 

This option is incorrect

Option 4)
