Dehydration under acidic conditions proceeds via a carbocation intermediate. The rate of the reaction depends on the stability of the carbocation.Electron-donating groups ( or ) like stabilize the carbocation.Electron-withdrawing groups like destabilize it.Thus, the compound with a strong electron-donating group in the position will be most readily dehydrated.(Note: Specifically referring to the substituted alcohols provided in the paper).
