Which of the following is the least stable ?A. `CH_(3)CH_(2)overset(+)CH_(2)`B. `CH_(3)overset(+)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3)`C. `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(+)C-CH_(3)`D. `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C-overset(+)CH-C_(6)H_(5)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The order of stability of carbocation is
`"benzyl" gt 3^(@) gt 2^(@) gt 1^(@)`
Thus, `CH_(3)CH_(2)overset(+)CH_(2)` being `1^(@)` cation is the least stable.
