Detailed Solution

The stability of carbanions is affected due to resonance,inductive effect and s - character of orbitals. Greater the number of groups having + I group (alkyl group) lesser stable would be the carbanion. Further stability of carbanion decreases with decrease in s-character. Benzene carbanions are stablized due to resonance, hence the correct order is
