Solution

The correct option is B $3^{0} c a r b o c a t i o n$
$3^{o}$ carbocation is most stable, as it is surrounded by three other carbon atoms that share the burden of its positive charge.
Hence, option C is correct.

A carbocation is a group of atoms with a positively charged carbon atom having six electrons in the valence shell after sharing. Carbocations are formed in the heterolysis of a bond and are planar species. Stability of carbocation is determined by inductive effect, hyperconjugation and resonance effect. Greater the number of contributing structures more is the stability of a Carbocation. Electron releasing groups (+I effect) increases the stability of a carbocation whereas the electron withdrawing groups (I effect) have an opposite effect.
