Answer #1

I is tertiary carbocation.

It is most stable.

So, it will not rearrange.

II can rearrange and form tertiary carbocation because its neighbour carbon is more branched.

IV can rearrange and form tertiary carbocation because its neighbour carbon is more branched.

III is secondary carbocation. Even if it rearranges with neighbours, carbon its still secondary carbocation.

Answer: c) II and IV
