When comparing the relative reactivity of ethers and epoxides
with nucleophiles such as HO:-, it is true that the:
A. Ethers are MORE reactive because they have carbons that are MORE
electrophilic
B. epoxides are MORE reactive because the O in the ring is MORE
nucleophilic
C. ethers are MORE reactive because they have a better leaving
group
D. epoxides are MORE reactive because they relieve ring strain when
the ring opens
