Acetone is non polar solvent.
Acid stregth of halo acids increases in the order.
(weakest acid) HF < HCl < HBr < HI (strongest acid)
Basicity of corresponding conugate based is,
Strongest F- > Cl- > Br- > I- (Weakest)
Stongest base caanot act as good nucleophilicity. Basicity hampers nucleophilicity.
Iodide ion I- is weakest base as it is a conjugate base of strongest haloacid Hydroiodic acid HI.
Iodide ion I- hence will be a strongest nucleophile in acetone.
Answer option : I-.
