Which is the MOST basic nucleophile in the following series?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

For the same donor atom, nucleophilicity parallels basicity. CH3CH2O- is the strongest base in the series (its conjugate acid, ethanol, has a pKa ≈ 16), making it the most basic nucleophile. F- is a weak base, while H2O and CH3CH2OH are neutral.
