Solution

The correct option is D iii < i < ii
The correct order is
CH3CH2OH2>CH3CH2OH>CH3OCH3
Because the conjugate bases kept after removal of H+ ions ae CH3CH2,CH3CH2O since 1 is more stable than 2 because of +I effect of C2H5 group in II increase charge on 0 and make it unstable.
so, 1 is more acidic.
