Best answer

Answer: 3. Isopropyl chloride

Key idea: Friedel-Crafts alkylation needs an alkyl halide that can give a carbocation.

Aryl halides (bromobenzene, chlorobenzene) and vinyl halides (chloroethene) have a partial double bond character in C-X, so they do not ionise. Isopropyl chloride readily forms the secondary carbocation with \(AlCl_3\).
