Solution

The correct option is B $I I I < I V < I < I I$
Stability of carbocations increases in order: $3^{o} > 2^{o} > 1^{o}$ .
So I and II are more stable than IV and IV is more stable than III.Among I and II, II is more stable than I because $- O C H_{3}$ has more $+ I$ effect than $- C H_{3}$ .
So stability of carbocations follows the order $I I > I > I V > I I I$ .
