Solution

The correct option is A vinyl chloride

Nucleophilic substitution occurs readily only when electron-withdrawing groups are present at suitable positions.
An aryl halide or a vinyl halide are electron-withdrawing groups, i.e nucleophiles, and nucleophiles cannot be attacked by a nucleophile, and are more prone to electrophilic reactions than nucleophilic reactions.
In vinyl and aryl halides you have an electron-rich pi cloud which can be seen a cloud of negative charge about the C-C bonds.

Hence, the correct option is A
