Solution

The correct option is C less reactivity
Alkyl halides are very reactive organic compounds in which alkyl fluorides are generally not used in chemical reactions because of their less reactivity. For a given alkyl group, the order of reactivity is RI>RBr>RCl>RF. This is because, the increasing order of bond energy is CI<CBr<CCl<CF
