Solution

The correct option is D IV>I>II>III
The increasing order of steric hindrance towards nucleophile is HCHO<CH3CHO<PhCHO<CH3COPh

The decreasing order of the electrophilic character of carbonyl carbon is HCHO>CH3CHO>PhCHO>CH3COPh.

More the electron defecient nature of carbon and less steric hinderance more is the reactivity.

The reactivity order of following compounds with PhMgBr is HCHO>CH3CHO>PhCHO>CH3COPh.

Option C is correct.
