Explanation of Solution
The radicals resulting from the cleavage of each
Figure 1
The stability of radical depends upon the number of alkyl groups attached to the radical carbon. Therefore, stability of tertiary radical is more than secondary and primary radical. The radicals in increasing order of stability are
