Solution

The correct option is B B>A
I and Br are electron withdrawing group. Therefore, it will decrease the stability of the carbocation.
more is the electronegativity of atom attached to the carbon more it will show -I effect and more it destablise the carbocation. Electronegativity order of atom is Br>I
Therefore, the order of stability of carbocation is:
(CH3CH2C|BrH+CHCH3<CH3CH2C|IH+CHCH3
Hence B is the correct option.
