Solution

The correct option is A CH3CH2X<(CH3)2CHX<CH2=CHCH2X<PhCH2X
Reactivity of alkyl halides for SN1 reaction is directly proportional to the stability of carbocation.
Carbocation formed are:
Benzylic carbocation is the most stable because positive charge can be delocalized over benzene ring. Allylic carbocation is more stable than 2 carbocation because it can show equvalent resonating structures.
2 carbocation is more stable than 1 carbocation.
The correct order is :
CH3CH2X<(CH3)2CHX<CH2=CHCH2X<PhCH2X
