Solution
The correct option is D I, IV In carbocation (II) inductive effect, hyperconjugation and resonance effect are stabilizing the positive charge. Presence of two methyl groups in carbocation (IV) ( Electron releasing groups (+I effect)) increasing its stability whereas the electron withdrawing groups benzene decreases the stability of carbocation (III) but the hyperconjugation and resonance effect are stabilizing its positive charge.
