Analyzing the stability and hydride affinity of the given carbocations.
Carbocation A is stabilized through conjugation with a double bond.
Carbocation B is stabilized by conjugation with three phenyl rings, making it the most stable and thus possessing the highest hydride affinity.
Carbocation D is the least stable due to the absence of resonance and inductive effects.
Therefore, the decreasing order of hydride affinity is: C, A, B, D.
