Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) I \( <\) III \( <\) II \( <\) IV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The rate of an \(S_{N}1\) reaction depends on the stability of the carbocation intermediate formed after the departure of the leaving group (bromide ion). The more stable the carbocation, the faster the \(S_{N}1\) reaction. The carbocations formed from the given compounds are:…
