Detailed Solution

In the same nucleophilic centre, nucleophlilicity is parallel to basic character. Stronger the acid, weaker is the conjugated base.
Acidic character order: CH3SO3H>CH3COOH>CH3OH>C2H5OH
Basic and nucleophilicity order:
CH3SO3-<CH3COO<CH3O<C2H5O- (IV)                   (III)               (I)                (II)
