Solution
The correct option is C1>4>2>3 The decreasing order of +R power of the given groups is: 1>3>2>4 or −O>−OH>−NH2>−NHCOCH3 −NHCOCH3 group has minimum value or +R effect as the lone pair of electrons on N atom is involved in resonance with carbonyl group. −O has maximum +R effect as O is highly electronegative element.
