Solution

The correct option is B 2>3>1
Reactivity of grignard-reagents towards carbonyl compounds is high for aldehydes. Compared to ketones because of less steric hindrance in aldehydes.
Aldehyde(very less steric) > Ketone(less steric) > Ketone(high steric hindrance)
CH3CHO>(CH3)2CO>(C6H5)2CO [Reactivity]
