Given below are two statements:
Statement-I: High concentration of strong nucleophilic reagent with secondary alkyl halides which do not have bulky substituents will follow 
mechanism.
Statement-II: A secondary alkyl halide when treated with a large excess of ethanol follows 
mechanism.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below.

[Substrate]
High concentration of strong nucleophilic reagent with secondary alkyl halides which do not have bulky substituents will follow 
mechanism.
Ethanol is a weak nucleophile. So, it favour 
mechanism. Ethanol is present in excess amount so there is no significant change in rate of reaction. So, reaction only depend on concentration of alkyl halide which favours 
mechanism.
