Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Vinyl chloride () undergoes nucleophilic substitution at the slowest rate. This is because the lone pair on the chlorine atom is in resonance with the -bond of the double bond. This gives the bond partial double bond character, making it very difficult to break compared to pure single bonds in alkyl or benzyl halides.
