  1. A (iii) \(>(\) ii \()>(\) i \()>(\) iv \()\)
  2. B (i) \(>(\) ii \()>(\) iii \()>(\) iv \()\)
  3. C (iii) \(>(\) i \()>(\) ii \()>\) (iv) \(\quad\)
  4. D (ii) \(>(\) iii \()>(\) i \()>\) (iv)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (iii) \(>(\) ii \()>(\) i \()>(\) iv \()\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The correct decreasing order of the stabilities of given carbocations is \[ \text { (iii })>(\text { ii })>(\text { i })>(\text { iv }) \] Because electron releasing effect stabilises the carbocation. Electron releasing order is…
