Solution

The correct option is A $C H_{3} - \oplus C H - C N$
Carbocations are stabilized by neighboring carbon atoms. Carbocations adjacent to another carbon-carbon double or triple bond have special stability because overlap between the empty p orbital of the carbocation with the p orbitals of the π bond allows for charge to be shared between multiple atoms.
$C H_{3} - C H - C \equiv N$
