A substrate, RX, reacts with a strong base :B", undergoing an E2 elimination. Which of the following is true regarding the mechanism of this reaction? Select one: A. The mechanism is one-step mechanism, with the substrate ejecting HX in a unimolecular process (without help from strong base). B. The mechanism is two-step, with RX forming a carbocation in the first, slow step. C. The mechanism is one-step with RX and :B reacting together in this step. D. The mechanism is two-step, with :B- removing a beta hydrogen ion from RX in step 1 (fast step), followed by the slow loss of X- from the intermediate formed in the first step.
