Vedclass · Answer

(C) The stability of resonating structures is determined by the following rules: $1$. Structures with complete octets for all atoms are more stable. $2$. Structures with more covalent bonds are more stable. $3$. Structures with negative charge on more electronegative atoms and positive charge on less electronegative atoms are more stable. In structures $(A)$ and $(B)$,all atoms have complete octets. In structure $(D)$,the positive charge on carbon is stabilized by the lone pair of the adjacent oxygen atom (octet is complete). In structure $(C)$,the carbon atom with the positive charge has an incomplete octet ($6$ electrons) and there is no adjacent atom with a lone pair to stabilize it. Therefore,structure $(C)$ is the least stable.
