Solution

The correct option is B CN>C6H5>Br>NH3
Trans effect is the effect of a coordinated group upon the rate of substitution at the position trans to itself in a square or octahedral complex. As the rate of substitution of the trans ligand increases, the intensity of trans effect also increases. Thus, correct order is,
CN>C6H5>Br>NH3
