02

Explanation

Among the given substrates, the leaving group is as follows:

  • In compound a, it is -OH .
  • In compound b, it is Cl-.
  • In compound c, there is no leaving group.
  • In compound d, the leaving group is H2O .

Among all, the compound containing H2Ois highly stable. So, the answer is option (d).
