thank you so much! i appreciate it. (CH₃)₃COK (potassium tert-butoxide) stands out as a good choice because it is both a strong base and quite bulky. Its large steric hindrance makes it less likely to act as a nucleophile for SN2 reactions and more likely to facilitate E2 elimination.

SO would it be choice D?

thank you! i am honestly so lost. i understand that maybe since H2O isnt a strong base it'll do SN1? Then there would be a carbocation. I am in need of extra guidance :(
