Benzyl chloride is reacted with different nucleophiles shown below. Arrange them in the decreasing order of reactivity. Nucleophiles : $\mathrm{HO}^{\Theta}, \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{\Theta}, \mathrm{PhO}^{\Theta}, \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{\Theta}$
(a)$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{\Theta}>\mathrm{HO}^{\Theta}>\mathrm{PhO}^{\Theta}>\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{\Theta}$
(b)$\mathrm{HO}^{\Theta}>\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{\Theta}>\mathrm{PhO}^{\Theta}>\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{\Theta}$
(c)$\mathrm{HO}^{\Theta}>\mathrm{PhO}^{\Theta}>\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{\Theta}>\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{\Theta}$
(d)$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{\Theta}>\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{\Theta}>\mathrm{HO}^{\Theta}>\mathrm{PhO}^{\Theta}$
