answer is 'a' .a is more stable than any benzylic carbocation....in 'a' 3 canonical forms r possible......it is a special case inspite of it being a 3 membered ring compound

of course a option is most stable because of hyperconjugation(BAKER NATHAN EFFECT)

to all idiots who think so stupidly -------go through organic carefully before answering like this!!!!!!!!!!! it is tricyclopropylmethyl carbocation that is stabler than benzylic carbocation..not the cyclopropyl carbocation!!!!!!! ans should be (a) because the cyclopropyl ring is highly strained and wants to expand----------the carbocation provides it a source to expand!!!!!!!!!.....................the site is full of such idiotic entities now!!!!!!!!!!!!

dis will b cyclopropyl methyl becz after 4mation of carbocation it shows dancing resonance\(or sigma resonance)..........

the carbo cation stability is decided da the no.of hyperconjugating structures an

in case of the 3membered ring cyclic compound if you write the hyp structures u will notice relaxation in strained bonding

so answer is cyclopropyl methyl

what i have learnt till now is dat hyperconjugation is shown by only dose comps which have at least I DOUBLE BOND ..........and by the way wats BAKER NATTHAN EFFECT..........

yyar double bond is nt compulsory.....only da system must be conjugated for hyperconjugation.........
