Solution

The correct option is D $C H_{2} = C H C l$
Due to the $+ M$ effect of $- C l$ group, it shows resonance with the double bond in vinyl chloide $(C H_{2} = C H C l)$ .
Due to the partial double bond character betwen C and Cl, vinyl chloride $(C H_{2} = C H C l)$ is least reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction.
