The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

For a given alkyl group, the order of reactivity is $\frac{R ??> R ?? r>R ??1>R ??}{increasing\, bond\, energy}$ 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.
