Detailed Solution

The correct order of reactivity of hydrolysis of acid chlorides is pO2NC6H4COCl>PhCOCl>pCH3OC6H4COCl

One of the lone pairs on the oxygen of a water molecule attacks the relatively positive carbon atom in acid chloride in a nucleophilic reaction during hydrolysis.The attack will be more reactive with more positive carbon. a "NO" is presentThe M effect of NO2 makes the pO2NC6H4COCl>PhCOCl>pCH3OC6H4COCl of NO2C6H4COCl more positive and reactive. The C is less reactive and positive when there is a +M effect.

Hence, option C is correct.
