Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

Among the given elements, W has the lowest ionization energy (\(12.0 KJ mol^{-1} x 10^{-3})\), indicating that it would be more likely to react with chlorine. X has a higher ionization energy \((21.0 KJ mol^{-1} x 10^{-3})\), so it would be less reactive with chlorine compared to W.
Based on ionization energy values, the elements that would react more readily with chlorine are W and X.
