Solution

The correct option is B III<I<IV<II
(I) propene carbocation CH3CH+CH3 (stable by electron donating character of of two CH3 groups.
(IV) CIS-2-butene carbocation CH3CH+CH2CH3 (stable by electron donating character of of two CH3 and CH2CH3 groups.
So order of reactivity is same as stability of carbocation
III<I<IV<II
