Correct answer
3
Step-by-step solution
Haloarenes are characterized by a halogen atom directly bonded to an aromatic ring carbon. In A ( C₆H₅CH₂X ), the halogen is benzylic, not aromatic. B and C feature halogens attached to non-aromatic cycloalkene and cycloalkane rings, respectively. Only D ( C₆H₅X ) has the halogen bonded directly to the benzene ring, satisfying the haloarene definition. Answer: D
