- –I inductive effect
- electromeric effect
- hyperconjugation
- mesomeric effect

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
A methyl group attached to a carbocation stabilizes it through hyperconjugation. Hyper-conjugation involves the interaction of the electrons in the C-H sigma bonds of the methyl group with the empty p-orbital of the positively charged carbon. This delocalization of electron density stabilizes the carbocation.
