Best answer

Answer: (b) C6H5CH2X (benzyl halide)

In a benzylic halide the halogen is bonded to an sp3 carbon which is directly attached to the benzene ring, as in C6H5–CH2–X. In (a) and (d) X is bonded directly to an sp2 ring carbon (aryl halides), and in (c) X is on a carbon of the C=C double bond (vinylic halide).
