Step-by-Step Verified Solution
The intermediate is carbocation which is
destabilised by C = O group (present on -
carbon to the �OH group) in the first three cases.
In (c), �hydrogen is more acidic which can be
removed as water. Moreover, the positive charge
on the intermediate carbocation is relatively away
from the C = O group.
