Solution
The correct option is A allylic chloride Allyl chloride is more reactive than vinyl chloride because in vinyl chloride lone pair of chlorine are in resonance so chlorine will not get removed easily while in case of allyl chloride resonance is not present. As tertiary allylic carbocation is high stable than vinyl cabocation.
