Solution

The correct option is C O>CH3>CMe3
(A) Order: O>CH3>CMe3
This is correct order of inductive effect as inductive effect of electronegative O is greater than that of CH3 and CMe3 .
(B) Order: CO2>O>CHMe2 This is incorrect order because inductive effect of CO2 is less than that of electronegative O .
(C) Order: O>CHMe2>D>H This is incorrect order because inductive effect of H is more than that of D. Because of one extra neutrons size of D is higher than H as a result this increased size reduces electronegativity of D .
