Answer:

5-chloro-1,3-cyclopentadiene

Explanation:

5-chloro-1,3-cyclopentadiene will react more slowly in an SN1 reaction. ( i.e. No reaction as the product is unstable ) attached is the representation of the rate of reaction of both Halides which shows that 5-chloro-1,3-cyclopentadiene reacts the slowest .

Also During SN1 reaction Carbocation is formed .
