An incorrect statement with respect to S_N1 and S_N2 mechanisms for alkyl halide is

• A strong nucleophile in an aprotic solvent increases the rate or favours S_N2 reaction.

• Competing reaction for an S_N2 reaction is rearrangement.

• S_N1 reactions can be catalysed by some Lewis acids.

• A weak nucleophile and a protic solvent increases the rate or favours S_N1 reaction.
