Answer:
I think Phenol is more stable than others .
Phenol is far more acidic than methanol. This is because the phenolate conjugate base is resonance stabilised. The methoxide conjugate base has no such stabilisation, and therefore is formed much more reluctantly. ... The lone pair on oxygen atom takes part in resonance with the pi electron of benzene ring .
So more stable .
