The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Explanation:

1. Neutral structures are more stable than charged ones. Therefore, structure (I) is the most stable as it is neutral.

2. Among the charged structures, a positive charge (+) on a less electronegative atom (like carbon) is more stable than a positive charge on a more electronegative atom (like oxygen).

- Hence, structure (II), where C+ is present, is more stable than (III), where O+ is present.

Order: \( I > II > III.\)

Final Answer: Option (2).
