Solution

The correct option is D $I I I < I I < I$
The increasing order of rate of reaction towards nucleophilic substitution is $I < I I < I I I$ . Methyl group (in general) increases the electron density on ortho and para positions due to combination of inductive effect (+I effect) and hyperconjugation. This effect is more when the number of methyl groups increases. This effect decreases the rate of reaction towards nucleophilic substitution.
