Solution

The correct option is B II
The most stable form of the bonds of a polycyclic compound is that arrangement which has the maximum number of rings in the benzenoid form.
Since structure II has two benzenoid rings, it is the most stable structure than the other two.
Structure I and III are equally stable.
