Consider the following compounds:
$(i) \, C_6H_5COCl$
$(ii) \, p-NO_2-C_6H_4-COCl$
$(iii) \, p-CH_3-C_6H_4-COCl$

The correct decreasing order of their reactivity towards hydrolysis is:

  • A
    $(i) > (ii) > (iii) > (iv)$
  • B
    $(iv) > (ii) > (i) > (iii)$
  • C
    $(ii) > (iv) > (i) > (iii)$
  • D
    $(ii) > (iv) > (iii) > (i)$
