B
I 
II 
III
II III C
III 
I 
II
I II
D
III 
II 
I
II I
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
A neutral structure with conjugation is more stable than the charged and unconjugated structures. Thus, II is most stable. Among I and III, I is more stable as it has conjugation of 
-electrons and lone-pair electrons. Thus, the stability order will be II 
I 
III.
