If <em>sec-</em>butyl ether were synthesized by a Williamson synthesis, the combination that would give the best results with the least amount of elimination is (b) using sodium <em>sec-</em>butoxide and Bromoethane. Since bromoethane is an alkyl halide with the halogen attached at the terminal of the compound.
