Solution

(a) The substitution reaction is D. In this reaction, the bromine atom in CH3CH2Br is substituted by an OH group from water to form CH3CH2OH.

(b) The electrophilic addition reaction is C. In this reaction, HBr adds across the double bond of CH2CH2, with the bromine attaching to the carbon atom that can form the most stable carbocation.

(c) The reaction that involves initial attack by a nucleophile is D. In this reaction, the OH- ion in water acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbon atom bonded to the bromine atom in CH3CH2Br.

(d) The reaction that requires an initiator is B. In this reaction, the polymerization of ethene to form polyethene requires an initiator to start the reaction.
