Answer #1

Option C is correct

Explanation: SN1 reactions involve the formation of carbocation as an intermediate. tertiarycarbocation is more stable than secondary carbocation which is more stable than primary carbocation. structures II and III can form tertiary carbocations. so structures II and III are more reactive in SN1 reactions. Among, structures II and III, structure III is more reactive as -Br is the best leaving group than -Cl group. Aryl carbocation is least reactive so structure IV is least reactive in SN1 reactions.
