Step-by-Step Verified Solution
A more stable radical means lesser the bond dissociation energy.
Radicals formed are

Radical formed from Q (PhCH2 H) is most stable due to resonance.
Stability of free radical decreases with increase in % s-character.
P radical sp3 % s-character 25%
R radical sp2 % s-character 33%
S radical sp % s-character 50%
Thus, order of stability of free radical is
Q > P > R > S
Order of bond dissociation energy is
S > R > P > Q
