Solution

The correct option is B allylic>1oH>vinylic
Radical substitutions are those reactions in which a free radical intermediate is produced. So, the rate of the radical substitution reaction is directly proportional to the stability of the free radical formed.

Now we know that the order of stability is sp3>sp2>sp. Also, due to +I effect of primary radical, allylic radical is more stable than primary, secondary and tertiary radicals.

Vinylic radical will be the least stable because of sp2 hybridization
Therefore, the correct answer will be option B
