Solution

The correct option is B II>V>I>IV>III
Compound I is showing +I effect;
compound II is showing -I effect;
compound III is showing +R and -I;
compound IV is showing +R and -I;
(-I effect of oxygen is much more than nitrogen because of greater electron negativity)
compound V is showing -I
so, nucleophilic addition is directly proportional to the electron deficiency on the carbonyl carbon,
hence, the order becomes II > V > I > IV > III
