Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
For SN2 mechanism:
Alkyl halides are more reactive than vinyl chloride, chlorobenzene and benzyl chloride.
Alkyl halides are more reactive due to the polarised bond of RX. Because of this polarization, carbon becomes electron-deficient and alkyl halides become more reactive.
For SN1 reactions: formed allylic carbocation is most stable among all. So, correct order of reactivity is allyl chloride > vinyl chloride > propyl chloride.
