Answer #1

Solution:

The largest Keq value is obtained for d.

In this reaction, enolate formation is very fast because the active methylene group (CH2) is flanked between two -C=O groups, therefore the acidity of CH2 hydrogen increases.

Thus, forward rate of reaction increases.

Keq =  Kf / Kb = largest value
