Solution

The correct option is A IV < III < II < I
1,2- or Vicinal diols are cleaved by periodic acid, HIO4, into two carbonyl compounds. The periodate ester undergoes a rearrangement of the electrons, cleaving the CC bond, and forming two C=O. The order of rate of oxidation can be explained on the basis of steric effect. The heavier the diol less the chance to undergo oxidation by HIO4 therefore the order is IV<III<II<I.
