The decreasing order of nucleophilicity among the following nucleophiles is:

- A(a), (b), (c), (d)
- B(d), (c), (b), (a)
- C(b), (c), (a), (d)
- D(c), (b), (a), (d)
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Generally, a stronger base is a better nucleophile in a given solvent (unless steric factors dominate). and are strong bases. is a weak base due to resonance. is the weakest base (conjugate of a sulfonic acid).The order is .
