The compound which would give the most stable carbcation on dehydration is :A. `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)OH`B. `CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)-OH`C. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)OH`D. `CH_(3)-underset(OH)underset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)CH_(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The order of stability of carbocation ion is tertiarygtsecondarygtprimarygtmethyl
Tertiary carbonium ions (in b) are more stable because of electron releasing (`+I` effect) nature of `CH_(3)` group due to which the +ve charge gets dispersed to maximum extent.
