Solution

The correct option is D C > A > B
In compound A: Oxygen show +M (mesomeric) effect
in compound B: Nitrogen is showing +R (resonance) effect
in compound C: Sulphur is showing +M (mesomeric) effect
mesomeric effect is more dominating over resonance effect
and +M of S is more dominating over +M of O
Hence, the order become C > A > B
