Detailed Solution

Grignard reagents are highly reactive and react with any source of a proton to give hydrocarbons. Water, alcohol, amines are sufficiently acidic to convert them to corresponding hydrocarbons. Halide reactivity increases in the order Cl < Br < I

Therefore, the order of reactivity towards Grignard reagent is as follows: 

CH3I > CH3Br > CH3Cl
