The general order of reactivity of carbonyl compounds for nucleophilic addition reactions is

  • A
    $H_2C = O > RCHO > ArCHO > R_2C = O > Ar_2C = O$
  • B
    $ArCHO > Ar_2C = O > RCHO > R_2C = O > H_2C = O$
  • C
    $Ar_2C = O > R_2C = O > ArCHO > RCHO > H_2C = O$
  • D
    $H_2C = O > R_2C = O > Ar_2C = O > RCHO > ArCHO$

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I:$ The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses because of weak molecular association in aldehydes and ketones due to dipole-dipole interactions.
Statement $II:$ The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are lower than the alcohols of similar molecular masses due to the absence of $H$-bonding.
