$A$. $CH_3-O^{+}=CH-CH_3$: This is an oxonium ion. It is stable due to resonance: $CH_3-\ddot{O}^{+}-CH-CH_3 \leftrightarrow CH_3-\ddot{O}=CH^{+}-CH_3$. It is also destabilised by the $-I$ effect of the oxygen atom.
$B$. $F_3C^{+}$: Destabilised due to the strong $-I$ inductive effect of three fluorine atoms,which withdraw electron density from the positively charged carbon.
$C$. $(CH_3)_3C^{-}$: Destabilised due to the $+I$ inductive effect of three methyl groups,which increase electron density on the already negatively charged carbon.
$D$. $CH_3-CH^{+}-CH_3$: This is a secondary $(2^{\circ})$ carbocation. It is stabilised by hyperconjugation from the six $\alpha$-hydrogens.

Which one among the following carbocations is the most stable?

State True or False for the following statements:
$(i)$ $\mathop{C}\limits^{+}H_3$ and $CH_3\mathop{C}\limits^{+}H_2$ both are primary carbocations.
$(ii)$ $(CH_3)_3\mathop{C}\limits^{+}$ is a tertiary carbocation and all carbons are $sp^3$ hybridized.
$(iii)$ $\mathop{C}\limits^{+}H_3$ is trigonal planar.
$(iv)$ $CH_4$ is not trigonal planar.

The stability of carbanions follows the order:
$I: CH_3CH_2CH_2\bar{C}H_2$
$II: CH_3\bar{C}HCH_2CH_3$
$III: (CH_3)_3\bar{C}$
$IV: CH_3\bar{C}(Ph)CH_2CH_3$
