  1. ${ CH } _{ 2 }$ = ${ CHCH } _{ 3 }$
  2. ${ CH } _{ 2 }$ = $CHCl$
  3. ${ CH } _{ 2 }$ = ${ CHC } _{ 6 }{ H } _{ 5 }$

C Correct answer
Explanation

In cationic polymerization the most stable cation will show the highest reactivity.

The order of reactivity will be-

$CH _2 = CH-C _6H _5 > CH _2  = CHCH _3 > CH _2 = CHCl >CH _2 = CHCOOCH _3$

Option C is correct.
