MHT CET Chemistry question

Which of the following statement is incorrect about mechanism?

(A)In transition state, carbon is simultaneously bonded to five atoms
(B)In transition state, all three C–H bonds are in different planeCorrect
(C)It depicts a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction
(D)The two processes take place simultaneously in a single step

Answer: (B)

Solution

In the transition state the carbon is partly bonded to both nucleophile and leaving group (five atoms in all) and the three C–H bonds lie in one plane perpendicular
