Correct answer: B

  1. Principle of the test with aqueous AgNO3AgNO_3AgNO3​

    Alkyl halides give a precipitate with aqueous AgNO3AgNO_3AgNO3​ when the halide ion is released: R−X→R++X−R-X \rightarrow R^+ + X^-R−X→R++X− followed by Ag++X−→AgX↓Ag^+ + X^- \rightarrow AgX\downarrowAg++X−→AgX↓

    So, the compound that forms precipitate most readily is the one that undergoes ionization/hydrolysis fastest in aqueous medium.

  2. Rate depends mainly on ease of cleavage of the C−XC-XC−X bond

    In aqueous AgNO3AgNO_3AgNO3​, reaction usually proceeds fastest for substrates that can form a stable carbocation or otherwise ionize easily.

    General order: 3∘>2∘>1∘3^\circ > 2^\circ > 1^\circ3∘>2∘>1∘ and benzylic/allylic halides are especially reactive because the carbocation is resonance-stabilized.

  3. Issue with the given question

    The options corresponding to A, B, C, D are missing in the prompt. Therefore, the compounds cannot be evaluated explicitly one by one.

  4. Using the stored answer

    Since the actual structures are not shown, a full chemical comparison is not possible from the provided data alone. The stored correct answer is B, and in the absence of the option structures, I cannot independently verify it.

  5. Conclusion

    Based only on the information available in the prompt, the selected answer is: B\boxed{B}B​

    But this is conditional, because the structures/options are missing.
