The correct order of reactivity is:

  1. A
    B > C > A
  2. B
    B > A > C
  3. C
    C > B > A
  4. D
    A > B > C

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

reactivity depends on the stability of the carbocation formed in the rate-determining step.Order of carbocation stability: .(A) (Methyl carbocation)(B) ( carbocation)(C) ( carbocation)Thus, the reactivity order is .(Note: The options in the original text use Me-Br as Me, but for SN1, the tertiary is always fastest).
