Solution

The correct option is D Chlorobenzene, vinyl chloride, chloroethane

The reactivity of the halogen atom in ascending order is in the following set:

chlorobenzene < vinyl chloride < chloroethane.

This is because of the fact that in chlorobenzene and vinyl chloride, the Cl-Cl bond acquires some double-bond character due to resonance.
