Solution

The correct option is D

III > I > II


We know about +I effect.

The Inductive effect is related to the ability of substituent(s) to either withdraw or donate e density to the attached C attom. Based on this ability, the substituents are classified as ewithdrawing (EWG) or edonating groups (EDG) relative to H.

EWG or e attracting groups are represented by -I and EDG or erepelling groups are represented by +I symbol.

Now,

Here, we can see that there will be a higher negative charge on carbon in case of tertiary alkyl.

Therefore, power of +I effect will be III > II > I
