Solution

The correct option is B (CH3)3CCl
For SN1 mechanism, the intermediate step where carbocation is formed, is the rate determining step.

So, the reaction in which the carbocation formed is more stable, will be favored for SN1 mechanism.

More stable the carbocation, more is the rate of reaction.

Generally, rate of reaction follows the pattern : 3oalkyl halide>2oalkyl halide>1oalkyl halide.

Option D is correct.
