Solution

The correct option is A I > II > IV > III
The structure (I) will be most stable as compared to others as it has two pi bonds and all the octets are complete. In structure III & IV negative charge is present on less electronegative atom and positive charge is present on more electronegative atom.
So, the correct stability order will be, I>II>IV>III
