The decreasing order of stability of the given carbocations is:

  1. A (D)>(C)>(A)>(B)
  2. B (D)>(A)>(C)>(B)
  3. C (B)>(D)>(C)>(A)
  4. D (B)>(C)>(D)>(A)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (B)>(D)>(C)>(A)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Carbocations are the most stable when the charge is on a tertiary carbon and least stable on a primary carbon. Order of stability of carbocation 3° >2°>1°. And more the number of alpha hydrogen more is the stability.
