Detailed Solution

  • The nucleophile is an iodide ion, and the leaving group is a chloride ion.
    Groups like the carbonyl group reduce the electron density on the C that is being attacked by a nucleophile. Therefore, the reactivity is increased by these groups.
  • Acetone is an aprotic solvent and can dissolve both the nucleophile and the substrate and thus SN2 reaction is favoured.
    Hence, the correct answer is option (C) iv > ii > iii > i
