The rates of reaction of NaOH with:

Figure

follow the order:-

  • A
    II>I>III
  • B
    II>III>I
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\mathrm{I}>\mathrm{III}>\mathrm{II}$
  • D
    III>II>I

Solution

Figure

I and II can react with NaOH but II do not react at room temperature. I and III give reaction because at O and P position electrone withdrawing group is present.

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