The correct answer is:
1 and 4 only
Aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions under ordinary conditions because Approach of nucleophile is retarded and partial double bond character between carbon and halogen which is reso stabilized so removal of halide ions gets tough as more energy is needed to break C-X bond.
