Solution
The correct option is C III> I> IV> II In electrophilic addition rection, in rate determining step carbocation is formed. Since stability of carbocation ↑es, reactivity towards electrophilic addition also ↑es. The following carbocations are formed.
Stability of carbocation∝(+R>+H>+I)(−R>−H>−I)
Hence, overall order of stability of carbocation is: III> I> IV> II
