D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Nucleophilicity 
Size (in group). In these two; -ve charge is in decolalisation so, less electron density will be available for bonding, hence nucleophilicity will be less. In 
, negative charge will come on ' 
while in 
, -ve charge will come on ' O ' which is more stable.
