  1. A \((I) \)>\( (III) \)>\( (II)\)
  2. B \((I) \)>\( (II) \)>\( (III)\)
  3. C \((II) \)>\( (I) \)>\( (III)\)
  4. D \((III) \)>\( (II) \)>\( (I)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((I) \)>\( (II) \)>\( (III)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((1)\) Neutral structures are more stable than charged ones. Therefore \(I\) is more stable than \(II\) and \(III\). \((2)\) +ve charge on less electronegative atom is more stable i.e., \(\mathrm{C}^{\oplus}\) is more stable than \(\mathrm{O}^{\oplus}\) \(\therefore\) Order is…
