Solution

The correct option is A (I)>(II)>(III)>(IV)
In the SN1 reaction carbocation intermediate is formed.

More stable the carbocation more is the reactivity.

Stability order for carbocation is:

Benzyl > Allyl carbocation > secondary carbocation > primary

The correct decreasing order of SN1 reactivity is;

I.PhCH2X>II.CH2=CHCH2X>III.Me2CHX>IV.C2H5X

Option A is correct.
