Answer 1

Explanation:

A benzylic halide is a compound in which a halogen (X) is attached to a benzylic carbon, i.e., a carbon atom that is directly attached to a benzene ring and is not part of the ring. In option (B), the structure is C₆H₅–CH₂X, where the halogen X is attached to a –CH₂ group, and that CH₂ is attached to a benzene ring. This is a classic benzylic position.
