Choose the correct order arranged in decreasing order of basicityA. `CH-=C^(-) gt CH_(3)O^(-) gt OH^(-)`B. `OH^(-) gt CH_(3)O^(-) CH - = C^(-)`C. `CH_(3)O ^(-) gt OH^(-) gt CH -= C^(-)`D. `CH_(3)O^(-) gt CH-= C^(-) gt OH^(-)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The strengths of conjugate acids of the given bases are in the order : `H_(2)OgtCH_(3)OHgtHC-=CH`
Stronger the acid, weaker is the conjugate base. Hence, decreasing order of basicity is
`HC-=C^(-)CH_(3)O^(-)gtOH^(-)`
