Solution

The correct option is A (CH3)3C<(CH3)2CH<CH3CH2
In general greater the number of alkyl groups attached to a positively charged C-atoms, the greater is the hyperconjugation interaction and stabilization of the cation.
Hyperconjugation effect increases in the order,
(CH3)C<(CH3)2CH<CH3CH2.
Hence, ans is A.
