Mark the correct increasing order of reactivity of the following compounds with HBr/HCl.(i) a < b < c (ii) b < a < c (iii) b < c < a (iv) c < b < a

Option (iii) is the answer.

It’s a nucleophilic substitution process that uses the SN_1 mechanism. The stability of the carbocation is required for the SN_1 mechanism to work. The presence of an electron withdrawing group reduces the carbocation’s stability.
