Detailed Solution

Given data: It is given that the reaction, RX+R-ONaR-O-R+NaX is called Williamson's synthesis.

X is Cl, Br, I or another good leaving group. In subsequent examples, we will just use Br, but keep in mind that other halogens work too (except fluorine). So do tosylates and mesylates.

Hence,the correct option is option (B) Williamson's synthesis.
