The most stable carbocation is
The most stable carbocation is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D
Carbocation (C) is antiaromatic and hence is least stable. Carbocation (A), (B) and (D) are all secondary but (D) and (B) are aromatic. Therefore (D) and (B) are more stable than (A). Further out of (B) and (D), (D) has less angular strain and as such is more stable. Hence most stable is d.
