Solution

The correct option is C stronger
$C H_{2} = C H - C l$ $\leftrightarrow$ $C H_{2}^{-} - C H = C l^{+}$
Due to resonance in vinyl chloride, $C - C l$ bond acquire some double bond character while in chloroethane, $C - C l$ bond is pure, single sigma covalent bond
Hence, $C - C l$ bond in vinyl chloride is stronger than in chloroethane.
