Solution

The correct option is C 1>2>4>3
NBS/heat reaction with alkenes follows free radical mechanism. If free radical is more stable more is the reactivity.
(1) It forms a tertiary allylic free radical which is very stable due to resonance and electron donating effect of CH3
(2) It forms 2 same type of free radical but at secondary carbon, the resonance from both side
(3) resonance only from one side
(4) radical more stable than (3) due to CH3 group.
1 is most reactive as it produces 33∘, allylic free radical and 3 is least reactive as it produces least stable free radical.
