Interpretation:

The given compounds are to be arranged in the order of the most to the least reduced carbon atoms.

Concept introduction:

The most reduced carbon atom is one that has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms or it is bonded to the most number of hydrogen atoms. The carbon is tetravalent and thus; the most reduced form of carbon is CH4 that is the carbon bonded to four hydrogen atoms.
