  1. A  (i) >(ii)>(iv)>(iii)
  2. B  (i) >(iii)>(iv)>(ii)
  3. C (iv)>(iii)>(ii)>(i)
  4. D  (iii) >(ii)>(i)>(iv)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B)  (i) >(iii)>(iv)>(ii)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Basicity is directly proportional to the +M,+I effect, but it is inversely proportional to the -M,-I effect. Aniline is the highest basic because it does not have any group. But the nitro group can show the -I and -M effect. The nitro group at meta position show only the -I…
