Solution
The correct option is D II and IV
Since cyclopropyl methyl carbocation (dancing resonance) is exceptionally more stable than allyl carbocation and ethyl carbanion is more stable than isopropyl carbanion. Rest other statements are correct. Tertiary free radical is more stable than a primary free radical due to +I effect of three methane. Same is the case with carbocations.
