Solution

The correct option is A $C H_{3} - C H_{3}^{+} | C H_{3}$
$C H_{3} - C H_{3}^{+} | C H_{3}$ is the most stable carbocation. It is a tertiary carbocation.
The order of carbocation stability is $t e r t i a r y > s e c o n d a r y > p r i m a r y > m e t h y l .$
Greater is the number of alkyl groups attached to $C$ atom bearing positive charge, greater is the carbocation stability.
