Solution

The correct option is B $C H_{3}^{+}$
The methyl carbocation ( $C H_{3}^{+}$ ) has trigonal planar shape.
Maintaining a positive charge is easier than negative charge and negative charge makes the shape to pyramidal. The positive charge does not affect the shape and it is trigonal planar.
