(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

More stable species in given pair has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

In an SN2 reaction, relative stability of alkyl halide is primary > secondary > tertiary.

The tertiary carbocation is the most stable.  The primary carbanion is the most stable.  Resonance allows for delocalization, in which the overall energy of a molecule is lowered since its electrons occupy a greater volume, molecules that experience resonance are more stable than those that do not.

(b)

More stable species in given pair has to be identified.
