Solution
The correct option is DII>I>III
The electron donating groups help in the dispersal of positive change throughout the chain.
As OCH3 is the most neucliophilic group therefore is most dispersal of charge and COCH3 is the least neucleophitic group therefore there is least dispersal of charge. More is the dispersal of charge, greater is the siability of the carbon atom.
So, the stability order according to the nucleophilicity order is
