Thank you for asking this interesting question
.
I may help you in finding the answer and the reason behind it.
The correct answer is the last option that is this Sn2 reaction will give a single Steriomer.
Because of the reason that this type of reaction means a nucleophilic substitution by formation of transition state.
This also result in complete inverted configuration.and the product will be the inverted configuration product.
This is the exact reason why option B and C cannot be true.
I hope this will help you.

ANSWER:-
➡️This is because, after the reaction has occurred, the substrate has carried out nucleophilic substitution reaction and it has already exchanged one substituent attached to its chiral centre.
