Consider the following molecules:

Structure of molecule p showing CH3-CH2-C(=O)-Cl, an acyl chloride with label (p) below the formula.

Structure of molecule q showing CH3-CH2-C(=O)-O-C(=O)-CH3, an acid anhydride with label (q) below the formula.

Structure of molecule r showing CH3-CH2-C(=O)-O-CH2-CH3, an ester with label (r) below the formula.

Structure of molecule s showing CH3-CH2-C(=O)-NH2, an amide with label (s) below the formula.

The order of rate of hydrolysis is:

A
$r > q > p > s$
B
$q > p > r > s$
C
$p > r > q > s$
D
$p > q > r > s$
