The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Several halo compounds are widely known by their common names. Matching the structure with the traditional name is important.

Step 1:
Identify compound (A).
\[ H_2C=CHCH_2Cl \] contains an allyl group attached to chlorine. Therefore, \[ (A)\rightarrow(I) \] \[ \boxed{\text{Allyl chloride}} \]

Step 2:
Identify compound (B).
\[ CH_3CHCl_2 \] contains two chlorine atoms attached to the same carbon atom. This is called ethylidene chloride. \[ (B)\rightarrow(IV) \]

Step 3:
Identify compound (C).
\[ ClCH_2CH_2Cl \] is 1,2-dichloroethane. Its common name is ethylene dichloride. \[ (C)\rightarrow(II) \]

Step 4:
Identify compound (D).
\[ H_2C=CHCl \] is chloroethene. Its common name is vinyl chloride. \[ (D)\rightarrow(III) \]

Step 5:
Write final matching.
\[ (A)-(I),\ (B)-(IV),\ (C)-(II),\ (D)-(III) \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Option (A)}} \]
