Solution
(c) < (b) < (a)
Explanation:
The presence of electron releasing group at ortho- and para-positions decreases the reactivity of haloarenes. Because of the possible repulsion, it is less likely for the electron-rich nucleophile to approach electron-rich arenes. The more the electron-releasing group is attached lesser, will be the rate of reaction.
