Solution

The correct option is D ii>i>iv>iii
Inductive effect causes polarisation in a σ-bond due to the presence of electronegative species.
More electronegative species (or group) attract greater charge density towards itself and exhibits greater I effect. NO2 exhibits strong I effect.
Hence, the order is: NO2>CN>F>NH2
