Consider the following alcohols. The order of decreasing reactivities of these alcohols towards substitution with $HBr$ is:
$(I)$ $C_6H_5CH_2OH$
$(II)$ $p-NO_2-C_6H_4CH_2OH$
$(III)$ $p-CH_3O-C_6H_4CH_2OH$
$(IV)$ $p-Br-C_6H_4CH_2OH$

  • A
    $III > I > IV > II$
  • B
    $III > I > II > IV$
  • C
    $I > III > IV > II$
  • D
    $I > III > II > IV$
