As compared with chlorocyclohexane, which of the following statements correctly apply to chlorobenzene?
A. The magnitude of negative charge is more on chlorine atom.
B. The $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl}$ bond has partial double bond character.
C. $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl}$ bond is less polar.
D. $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl}$ bond is longer due to repulsion between delocalised electrons of the aromatic ring and lone pairs of electrons of chlorine.
E . The $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl}$ bond is formed using $\mathrm{sp}^2$ hybridised orbital of carbon.

Solution
Chlorocylohexane is more polar due to -I effect of -Cl,
Whereas chlorobenzene has $-\mathrm{I}>+\mathrm{M}$, so it is less polar \& also has partial double bond character.
