141. The main difference in $$C - X$$  bond of a haloalkane and a haloarene is

A $$C - X$$  bond in haloalkanes is shorter than haloarenes.
B in haloalkanes the $$C$$ attached to halogen in $$C - X$$  bond is $$s{p^3}$$ hybridised while in haloarenes it is $$s{p^2}$$ hybridised.
C $$C - X$$  bond in haloarenes acquires a double bond character due to higher electronegativity of $$X$$ than haloalkanes.
D haloalkanes are less reactive than haloarenes due to difficulty in $$C - X$$  cleavagein haloalkanes.
Answer :   in haloalkanes the $$C$$ attached to halogen in $$C - X$$  bond is $$s{p^3}$$ hybridised while in haloarenes it is $$s{p^2}$$ hybridised.
