1. only electrophiles

2. only nucleophiles

3. only free radicals

4. both electrophiles and nucleophiles

Nucleophilic addition reaction will be most favoured in                   [2006]

(1) $$
$\mathrm{O}$
$\parallel$
${\mathrm{CH}}_3-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{C}-{\mathrm{CH}}_3$

(2) $({\mathrm{CH}}_3{)}_2\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}$

(3) ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{CHO}$

(4) ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CHO}$
