Inversion takes place in SN₂ mechanism, if and only

"the attack(by the nucleophile) takes place at a chiral carbon"

But in the above case the attack has taken place at CH₂-Cl group, where the carbon is not chiral.

Hence inversion will not happen.

Hope it helps!

dhillonR: ok,here b is correct then?
siril: yes...
siril: whats in option d
dhillonR: ch2clchch3oh
