Detailed Solution

From the option given, in ethyl chloride, allyl chloride and methyl chloride the chlorine is highly reactive as it is bonded to sp3 hybridized carbon atom which can easily undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Chlorobenzene's reduced reactivity is caused by the partial double bond nature of the C-Cl bond.

Hence, chlorobenzene is the least reactive.
