Given below are two statements : Statement-I : The conversion proceeds well in the less polar medium. CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-Cl \xrightarrow{HO^-} CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-OH + Cl^- Statement-II : The conversion proceeds well in the more polar medium. CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-Cl \xrightarrow{R_3N} CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-N^+R_3\, Cl^- In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Answer: (1)
