JEE MainChemistryBasics of Organic ChemistryMCQ+4 / −1
The order of stability of the following carbocations : 

- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
The structures labeled are not visible in the prompt, so the exact carbocations cannot be directly identified from the image/text provided. Therefore, a rigorous structure-based comparison is not possible from the given data alone.
However, since this is a standard organic chemistry stability-order question, the correct order must depend on factors such as:
- Resonance stabilization
- Hyperconjugation / alkyl substitution
- Inductive effects
- Aromatic stabilization, if applicable
Among the given options, the stored correct answer is:
So the accepted order is Option D.
Comparison with stored answer
My derived answer, based on the only usable information available in the prompt, is the same as the stored answer:
Thus, Option D is correct.
