Solution

The correct option is B IIIV>III>I
The reaction is an example of nucleophilic aromnatic substitution that involves the formation of carbanion as an intermediate. The carbonation from O-and p-chloronitrobenzenes are more stable than that from the m-isomer that, in turn, is more stable than that obtained from chlorobenzene, and is devoid of electron-withdrawing NO2 group.
