Solution

The correct option is D (I)>(III)>(II)>(IV)
The correct stability order for the following species is
I>III>II>IV

In Ist the lone pair on oxygen stabilises the carbocation as well as it is tertiary carbocation, hence more stable.

The correct order of the stability of carbocations is tert alkyl > sec alkyl > primaryalkyl > methyl carbonium ion.

When an electron donating group (+I effect) present, the stability of carbocation increases.
