(iii)  The steric hindrance is the deciding factor here.

The order of steric hindrance is :-     

1-Bromobutane < 1-Bromo-3-methylbutane < 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane< 1-Bromo-2, 2-dimethylpropane

Thus the order of the rate of reaction will be : - 

1-Bromo-2, 2-dimethylpropane < 1-Bromo-2-methylbutane < 1-Bromo-3- methylbutane < 1-Bromobutane
