Answer:

(CH3)CI

Explanation:

As we move down the group, the halogen atoms become more easily polarizable and the C-X bond is more easily broken.

Recall that E2 mechanism has to do with synchronous proton abstraction and loss of the halogen.

These occur faster with (CH3)CI than when the C-X bond involves other halogens.
