Solution
The correct option is A
x > y > z
Therefore, repulsion between both C - O bonds will be greater than the repulsion between C - H bond and C - OH bond or between C - H and C = O bond.
Repulsion between C - H and C = O bond is greater than that of between C - H and C - OH bond, because double bond character in C - OH bond will always be less than C = O.
