I think that your pK
a
for Ph-NH
3
+
is off a bit. I am having a difficult time reading your pK
a
for thiol groups. In my experience they often fall in the range 8-10.

What is the pK
a
of acetone? If you know this value, then you should be fine.

As far as I can tell, A has the correct order, but your pK
a
value for the anilinium ion is wrong by a good six orders of magnitude.
