Haloalkanes & Haloarenes · Properties and preparation of haloalkanes

Correct statements regarding alkyl halides (R–X) among the following are :

(A)Alcohol being less polar solvent as compared to water, alcoholic KOH favours elimination reaction with R–X.
(B)Order of reactivity towards S $_\mathrm{N}$ 1 mechanism is $\ce{C6H5-CH2-Cl}$ $>$ $\ce{C6H5-CHCl-C6H5}$ .
(C)Non substituted aryl halides exhibit properties similar to alkyl halides.
(D)Vinyl chloride is an example of haloalkene and allyl chloride is an example of haloalkyne.
(E)R–Cl can be prepared by reacting R–OH with $\ce{SOCl2}$ but Ar–Cl cannot be prepared by reacting Ar–OH with $\ce{SOCl2}$ .
