Consider the following reaction : \[ \text{C}_{6}\text{H}_{5}-\text{CH}_{2}-\text{O}-\text{C}_{6}\text{H}_{5} + \text{HI} \xrightarrow{\Delta} \text{A} + \text{B} \] Identify products A and B.

1. A
   \( \mathrm{A = C_{6}H_{5}-CH_{2}I}} \) and \( \mathrm{B = C_{6}H_{5}OH} \)
2. B
   \( \mathrm{A = C_{6}H_{5}-CH_{2}OH}} \) and \( \mathrm{B = C_{6}H_{5}I} \)
3. C
   \( \mathrm{A = C_{6}H_{5}-CH_{3}} \) and \( \mathrm{B = C_{6}H_{5}OH} \)
4. D
   \( \mathrm{A = C_{6}H_{5}-CH_{3}} \) and \( \mathrm{B = C_{6}H_{5}I} \)
