The correct answer is:
Organic solvents have strong intermolecular attractions with haloalkanes.
Haloalkanes tend to dissolve in organic solvents because the new intermolecular attractions between haloalkanes and solvent molecules have much the same strength as the ones being broken in the separate haloalkane and solvent molecules.
