- –I inductive effect
- electromeric effect
- hyperconjugation
- mesomeric effect
Show Solution
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Hyperconjugation, arising from the interaction between the C-H sigma bond electrons of an attached methyl group and the vacant p-orbital of a carbocation, provides stabilization. This electron density delocalization mitigates the carbocation's positive charge.
