Solution

The correct option is C (d)>(b)>(c)>(a)
Rate of reaction depends on the stability of carbocation intermediate formed during the addition reaction.
Stable the intermediate formed, more is the rate of reaction for that compound.

Carbocation intermediates formed are :


In (d) ,(b) the carbocation is stabilized by the +R effect of NH2 and OH group respectively.
+R effect of NH2 group is more than that of OH group. So (d) is more stable than (b).
In (c) the carbocation is stabilized by hyperconjugation, so it is less stable than (b) and (d)
(a) is least stable because it is destabilized by R effect of NO2
Correct order is :
(d)>(b)>(c)>(a)
