As we learnt in

Reaction of alkyl halide with KOH (alc) -

\beta- elimination reaction take place and produces alkenes.

- wherein

CH3CH2Br + KOH (alc.) \rightarrow H2C=CH2 + KBr + H2O

 

 E- reaction show isotopic effect.

C-D bond strength is greater than C-H bond strength. Hence, E2 reaction for B will be slower.
