Solution

The correct option is A $C H_{3} B r$
$B r$ is an electronegative element. The compound is stable if the carbon chain is of more length and thereby inductive effect increases.
$C H_{3} B r$ is less stable and shows higher reactivity because of less inductive effect. Other options have more than one carbon and thereby inductive effect increases, stability increases and reactivity decreases.

Hence, the correct option is A.
