Solution
The correct option is A IV > I > II > III The correct order of the dominating power of the different effects on the stability of intermediates can be remembered using the trick "AERHI". A = Aromaticity E = Equivalent resonating structures R = Resonance effect H = Hyperconjugation I = Inductive effect
Therefore, the correct order is IV > I > II > III. Hence option (a) is correct.
