Alkyl sulfonates undergo the same type of substitution reactions as alkys halide

Question

Alkyl sulfonates undergo the same type of substitution reactions as alkys halides and can also be prepared from alcohols. What advantage does the preparation of an atkyl sulfonate from an alcohol have over the preparation of an alkyl halide from an alcohol? the preparation of an alkyl sulfonate can be carried out at a much lower temperature and with less expensive reagents the configuration at the chirality center in the alcohol is retained in the alkyl sulfonate product and no rearrangements occur the alkyl sulfonate product is formed with complete inversion of configuration the alkyl sulfonate loses its optical activity and is therefore lower in energy

Explanation / Answer

OPTION A IS THE ANSWER

sulfonylation can be done with the respective sulfonyl chlrode which is cheap and the reaction is carried out at zero degrees centigrade to room temperature

in case multiple options can be given, then B is also a possibilty if the sulfonylation is carried in the absence of pyridine as base.
