Solution

The correct option is D $I I I < I I < I < I V$
Stability of carbanions decreases in order: $1^{o} > 2^{o} > 3^{o}$ .
$I V$ is most stable due to resonance between negative charge and double bond of benzene ring.
$I$ is more stable than $I I$ and $I I I$ as $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{2}^{-}$ is $1^{o}$ .II is more stable than $I I I$ as $C H_{3} C H^{-} C H_{2} C H_{3}$ is $2^{o}$ . $I I I$ is least stable as it is tertiary.
So stability of carbanions follows the order $I V > I > I I > I I I$ .
