Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) II \( > \) I \( > \) III

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint : \(\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}\) bond length \(\text {II } > \text { I } > \text { III }\) bond has the most single bond character in compound II and the least single bond character in compound III.
