A) \[-C{{H}_{3}}\]
B) \[-OC{{H}_{3}}\]
C) \[-COC{{H}_{3}}\]
D) \[-C{{H}_{2}}OH\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] Electron withdrawing group stabilises the benzene ring due to delocalisation of charge. \[-C{{H}_{3}}\] and \[-C{{H}_{2}}OH\] are electron donating group and hence decrease the stability of benzene ring \[-OC{{H}_{3}}\] is weaker electron withdrawing group than-\[-COC{{H}_{3}}\]. Hence \[-COC{{H}_{3}}\] group more stabilize the phenoxide ion at p-position.
