The correct name is 1-chloro-4-Iodobenzene.
Explanation:
The general name for this compound is haloarene* because it is a derivative of benzene, the simplest arene.
In naming cyclic compounds, one of the substituents is automatically on
Thus, the name is either 1-chloro-4-Iodobenzene or 1-iodo-4-chlorobenzene.
Neither of the halogens takes priority, so we list them in alphabetical order.
