Correct answer
A
Step-by-step explanation
For a given alkyl group, the order of reactivity is
decreasing halogen reactivity.
This order depends on the carbon-halogen bond energy; the carbon-fluorine bond energy is maximum and thus fluorides are least reactive while carbon-iodine bond energy is minimum hence iodides are most reactive.
