B- During elimination, a hydrogen is removed from the ꞵ-carbon because this is the position with the highest acidity in the haloalkane.         C- All haloalkanes can undergo at least one elimination reaction.         D- Elimination only occurs when the base is very strong.         E- Substitution only occurs when the nucleophile is weakly basic.
