Solution

The correct option is A $I I I < I I < I$
Nucleophlic addition of carbonyl compounds depend on the steric hindrance and electron withdrawing groups.
Due to negligible steric hindrance formaldehyde underogoes nucleophilic addition easily followed by acetone and benzaldehyde.
Hence, the correct order of nucleophilic addition. is
$I I I < I I < I$
