Which of the side chains attached to the benzene ring shows +I effect ?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

(i) OCH₃, (ii) C≡CH and (iii) SO₃H all withdraw electrons through the sigma bond (-I).

In (iv) the propyl group is an sp³ carbon attached to an sp² ring carbon. The sp³ carbon is less electronegative (less s-character), so the chain pushes electrons to the ring: +I.
