Solution
The correct option is A
According to Bredt's Rule:
The possibility of formation of multiple bonds, intermediates (cation and radical), transition states at the bridge head position is negligible because it creates a strain at the already strained position.
In option (a), the carbocation is at bridge head position making it the least stable.
