The correct order of reactivity towards reaction

Chlorine exhibits -I effect, pulling electrons towards itself, thus creating a slight positive charge on the carbon attached. In compound 2, -I effect of chlorine is most pronounced making the compound reactive towards reaction. In compound 3, -I effect of chlorine is strong but is countered by the resonance effect making substitution possible at - positions. In compound 1, -I effect of chlorine is balanced by the effect of the cycloalkyl group.
