(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Better leaving group in given molecule/ion has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Weaker the basicity of the group better is the leaving propensity.  If the attacking atoms are different in size and the reaction is carried out in a protic solvent, stronger the bases are poorer nucleophiles as ion-dipole interactions between the ions and the solvent.

(b)
