Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Compound (d) is aromatic, exhibiting enhanced stability via resonance. Compound (a) is antiaromatic, rendering it the least stable. Compounds (b) and (c) feature sp3 hybridized carbons with a negative charge. According to angle strain theory, compound (c) is more stable than compound (b) due to its ring structure.
