Solution
The correct option is BIII<I<IV<II (I) propene carbocation CH3−CH+−CH3 (stable by electron donating character of of two −CH3 groups.
(IV) CIS-2-butene carbocation CH3−CH+−CH2−CH3 (stable by electron donating character of of two −CH3 and −CH2−CH3 groups.
So order of reactivity is same as stability of carbocation
