Solution

The correct option is C $C H_{3} - \oplus C H - C H_{3}$
Answer is option $C .$
Stability of carbocation is given by $3 ° > 2 ° > 1 °$ .
In $C H_{3} - ⨁ C H - C H_{3}$ , the carbocation is most stable as it is attached to $2$ $m e t h y l$ groups which facilitate the inductive and hyperconjugation effect.
