Solution

The correct option is A CH3+CH2
If electron withdrawing group are attached to a carbocation, the electron density of the carbocation decreases, making the carbocation less stable whereas electron donating groups increase the stability.
As the substitution of Cl & NO2 groups decrease the electron density of carbocation, they are less stable.
Hence most stable carbocation is CH3CH2 .
