D. Of resonance stabilization and sp2 hybridization of carbon attached to halide

Aryl halides are generally less reactive than alkyl halides towards nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the resonance stabilization and sp2 hybridization of the carbon atom attached to the halogen in aryl halides. The delocalization of electrons in the benzene ring through resonance makes the carbon-halogen bond partially double bond-like, which makes it less susceptible to nucleophilic attack. This resonance stabilization decreases the reactivity of aryl halides compared to alkyl halides, where the carbon-halogen bond is typically more polarized and the carbon atom is more prone to nucleophilic substitution reactions.
