    Aryl halides doesnt undergo nucleophilic substitution   reactions   under   ordinary conditions because of
    1. approach of nucleophile is retarded
    2. carbon  carrying  halogen  atoms   is\[s{{p}^{3}}-\]hybridised
    3. the substrate molecule is destabilised due to resonance
    4. partial double bond character between carbon and halogen

    A)  2 and 4 only      

    B)  1 and 4 only

    C)  2 and 3 only    

    D)         2, 3 and 4 only

    E)  1 and 3 only

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Because of the + R effect of halogen atom, \[CX\] bond of aryl halide has some double bond character, hence it is inert towards nucleophile and approach of nucleophile is retarded.
