Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The substituents in the given set are to be reordered from highest to lowest priority.

Concept introduction:

When assigning priorities to substituents, the atom having the greater atomic number has higher priority. In case of comparison between isotopes, the one having the greater atomic mass gets higher priority.

Draw a more stable resonance structure for the following molecule. Use a curved arrow to show how to transform the original structure to the new one and please specify charges.
Question: which of the following molecules will have the greatest difference in energy between its chair conformations? I understand that both B and D have chair conformations that are more favored one way than another (B because it's cis 1-3 where both substituents are equatorial or axial and D because for monosubstituents there are 1-3 diaxial interaction if the substituent is axial position) but why is B greater than D? Is it due to the fact it is two substituents over one? Can you explain this for me?
