Description: The correct stability order of the following diazonium salts is

Solution

Stability Factors

-OCH₃ (Group A): A strong electron-donating group (+M effect). It provides the highest stability by shifting electron density toward the diazonium group.
No substitution (Group C): Acts as the baseline for comparison.
-CN (Group D): An electron-withdrawing group (-M, -I effect). It destabilizes the cation.
-NO₂ (Group B): A very strong electron-withdrawing group (-M, -I effect). It causes the greatest destabilization.
