Which of the two stereoisomers of $4-t-$butylcyclohexyl iodide $(^{127}I^-)$ will undergo $S_N2$ substitution with $^{128}I^-$ faster,and why?

  • A
    $A$ will react faster because it is the more stable of the two isomers.
  • B
    $A$ will react faster because it will yield a more stable product,and the transition state for both reactions is of the same energy.
  • C
    $A$ will react faster because the approach of $^{128}I^-$ can occur unhindered.
  • D
    $B$ will react faster because it is less stable than $A$,and the transition state for both reactions is of the same energy.
