Answer:

The answer is C): Stereospecific and concerted.

Step-by-step explanation:

An E2 mechanism is a single step elimination reaction that is both stereospecific and concerted: it is stereospecific because it can convert the components of the reaction into stereoisomeric products; it is concerted because all bonds are broken and formed during the single step.
