Answer:
hydroquinone<resorcinol<phenol<catechol
Explanation:
This question is from a book that gives the answer as
hydroquinone<resorcinol<phenol<catechol
but does not provide any explanation for the answer. If I go by the stability of the conjugate base due to resonance, phenol seems to have the most number of resonance intermediates and seems to be most stable. Considerations about number of resonance intermediates of conjugate base gives an order that is nowhere close to that provided as an answers.
