Solution

The correct option is C X > Y > Z
CH bond energy 1Stability of free radical


Free radical formed from X is a primary free radical and is the least stable.
Free radical formed from Y is a allylic free radical hence it is more stable than the free radical from X.
Free radical formed from Z is a allylic free radical with extended conjugation and hence it is most stable free radical.



So, the order of stability of free radical: Z > Y > X
Hence CH bond energy follow the same i.e., X > Y > Z
