Certain organic reactions proceed through formation of intermediates which are highly strained and reactive. Given the following reaction, the correct statement about the mechanism of the reaction is

Options

AIntramolecular $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ attack by $-\mathrm{COO}^{-}$ to form an intermediate followed by the attack by $\mathrm{HO}^{-}$ via $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ pathway on the intermediate
BIntramolecular $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ attack by $-\mathrm{COO}^{-}$ to form an intermediate followed by the attack by $\mathrm{HO}^{-}$ via $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1$ pathway on the intermediate
C $\mathrm{HO}^{-}$ attacks via $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1$ pathway on the reactant
D $\mathrm{HO}^{-}$ attacks via $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ pathway on the reactant

Correct answer

A. Intramolecular $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ attack by $-\mathrm{COO}^{-}$ to form an intermediate followed by the attack by $\mathrm{HO}^{-}$ via $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ pathway on the intermediate
