(a)
Interpretation:
The compound in a given pair which is more reactive towards nucleophilic attack is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The carbon atom in carbonyl compound acts as an electrophilic centre where a nucleophile attacks and gives a corresponding addition. The nucleophilic addition reaction a characteristic reaction for the carbonyl compounds.
