Solution
The correct option is A More reactive than halobenzene.
Alkyl halides are more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution than aryl halides as it is difficult to break C−X bond in aryl halides.
In the nucleophiliic substitution in aryl halides, in the transition state, the aromaticity is lost. Hence, the transition state is not easily formed.
Nucleophilic substitution in aryl halides require drastic conditions. Thus CH3−CH2−X bond is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution than halobenzene.
