The carbocation 
is maximum stabilised by Mesomeric effect.
Effective 
overlap occurs between vacant 
orbital of carbocation & 2 p orbital of N containing the lone pair and in all cases +I effect and Hyperconjugation is same. In option a, mesomeric effect does occur but positive charge rests more on electronegative atom i.e. O which decreases the extent of stabilisation. In option , there is no resonance. Rather, O exerts - I effect and destablilises the carbocation.
