Detailed Solution

Carbonyl carbon which is more electron deficient, shows more reactivity towards nucleophilic addition reaction. Presence of −R− or −Ar groups, decrease the reactivity of carbonyl carbon because they are electron releasing groups. More these groups present, less is the reactivity.

Hence, the correct order is:

H2C = O > RCHO > ArCHO > R2C = O > Ar2C = O
