Answer #1

For nucleophilic attack there must be positive charge present. Now reactivity depends on whether the charge is nutralise by any other molecule or not.

Now, in B compound we can see that 2 methyl groups are present and they both nutralise the charge generated on carbon so in B it is very less reactive towards nucleophilic attack.

So now the order is---

B < C < A
