Solution

The correct option is A CH3CH2CH2CH2(Cl)<CH3CH2CH(Cl)CH3
In the given pairs, the pair that represent correct order of rate of dehydrohalogenation reaction is CH3CH2CH2CH2(Cl)<CH3CH2CH(Cl)CH3.
The rate of dehydrohalogenation reaction for primary alkyl halide is lower than the rate of dehydrohalogenation reaction for secondary alkyl halide. This is because, secondary carbocation is more stable than primary carbocation.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
