Solution

The correct option is A n-butyl chloride
Organic compounds are more reactive towards SN1, if the carbocation is stable compared to others.
Here, in allyl chloride CH2=CHCH2Cl the cation formed is CH2=CHCH2CH2CH=CH2 is stabilized by equivalent resonance. So, allyl chloride has high reactivity towards SN1.
