$$ \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{Br}+\mathrm{Nu}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{Nu}+\mathrm{Br}^{-} $$ The decreasing order of the rate of the above reaction with nucleophiles $\left(\mathrm{Nu}^{-}\right) \mathrm{A}$ to $\mathrm{D}$ is $\left[\mathrm{Nu}^{-}=(\mathrm{A}) \mathrm{PhO}^{-}\right.$, (B) $\mathrm{AcO}^{-}$, (C) $\mathrm{HO}^{-}$, (D) $\left.\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{O}^{-}\right]$

• Correct answer
  A

  D $>$ C $>$ A $>$ B
• B

  D $>$ C $>$ B $>A$
• C

  $A>B>C>D$
• D

  $B>D>C>A$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
